Answer:

The answer to your question is AC = 14

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must use trigonometric functions.

And we must look for a trigonometric function that relates the opposite side and the hypotenuse.

This trigonometric function is the sine


sin\alpha = (opposite side)/(hypotenuse)

solve for Opposite side = AC

AC = hypotenuse x sin α

- Substitution

AC = 25 x sin 34

- Simplification

AC = 25 x 0.56

- Result

AC = 14
