The length of BC is 2.30
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that AB = 3 and ∠A = 50°
To find the length of BC, let us use the sine formula.
The formula is given by
![\sin \theta=(o p p)/(h y p)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/mk1tx3azp2p77wmvmatd1wcvuukp87cpn8.png)
where
, opp = BC and hyp = AB
Thus, substituting these in the formula, we get,
![\sin 50=(B C)/(A B)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/z2tmjyve7mrkh27qrszzi3afsgywufx1n8.png)
From the diagram, the value of AB is 3.
Substituting the value and simplifying the expression, we have,
![0.7660=(B C)/(3)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/p8p886dsrbyaub1a4xb5dc3577zfgr4vz4.png)
Multiplying both sides by 3, we get,
![2.298={B C}](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/zpao7v0f6ey5mppnb63amd8eem9k3j8729.png)
Rounding the answer to the nearest hundredth, we have,
![BC=2.30](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/lib96ckprb7kvksf0lpc8a3klcecita5ze.png)
Thus, the length of BC is 2.30
