Answer:

Approximatley 5.8 units.

Explanation:

We are given two angles, ∠S and ∠T, and the side opposite to ∠T. We need to find the unknown side opposite to ∠S. Therefore, we can use the Law of Sines. The Law of Sines states that:


(\sin(A))/(a)=(\sin(B))/(b) =(\sin(C))/(c)

Replacing them with the respective variables, we have:


(\sin(S))/(s) =(\sin(T))/(t) =(\sin(R))/(r)

Plug in what we know. 20° for ∠S, 17° for ∠T, and 5 for t. Ignore the third term:


(\sin(20))/(s)=(\\sin(17))/(5)

Solve for s, the unknown side. Cross multiply:


(\sin(20))/(s)=(\sin(17))/(5)\\5\sin(20)=s\sin(17)\\s=(5\sin(20))/(\sin(17)) \\s\approx5.8491\approx5.8
