Answer:

AB = 8.77

Explanation:

AB is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. A 20 degree angle is shown. The side BC (with length 3) is opposite this 20 degree angle.

By the definition of the sine function, sin 20 degrees = opp side / hypotenuse. Therefore,

opp side 3

hypotenuse = ------------------------- = -------------------

sin 20 degrees 0.3420

Evaluating this, we get hypotenuse = AB = 8.77
