Answer:

Explanation:

We could use the Law of Sines if we only knew what angle A was. It just so happens that by the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem, angle A is equal to

180 - B - C. Therefore,

angle A = 180 - 11 - 75 so

angle A = 94. And the Law of Sines is


(sin94)/(a)=(sin11)/(600) and cross multiply to get

600sin94 = asin11 and solve for a:


a=(600sin94)/(sin11) gives you that

a = 3136.85
