Answer:

365.9 Inches

Explanation:

To find the value of Sin A can be found using the sine rule. the rule states that the ratio of the length facing an angle in a triangle to the sine of the angle is constant. As such,

a/Sin A = b/Sin B = c/Sin C

Where is a is the side facing angle A, b is the side facing angle B and c is the side facing angle C.

Hence,

58/Sin 19 = r/Sin 115

r = 58 Sin 115/ Sin 19

= 365.9 Inches
