Answer:


\text{D. 36.64}

Explanation:

The Law of Sines is given by
(a)/(\sin A)=(b)/(\sin B)=(c)/(\sin C) and works for any triangle.

Therefore, we have the proportion:


(c)/(\sin 41.5^(\circ))=(37)/(\sin 42^(\circ)),\\\\c=(37\sin 41.5^(\circ))/(\sin 42^(\circ))=36.6399945706\approx \boxed{36.64}
