When we are given sides and an angle, and a right triangle (seemingly), the easiest method of solving is using trigonometry.

Remember: SOH-CAH-TOA

Looking from the given angle, we are given the opposite side and want to know the hypotenuse. Therefore, we should use the sin function.

sin(34) = 2 / x

(x)(sin(34)) = 2

x = 2 / sin(34)

x = 3.7801

x = 3.7801

---Feel free to round to whereever you need/is required by your assignment.

Hope this helps!
