Answer:

30 miles

Explanation:

The Law of Sines is used for this purpose. The angle at R is the difference ...

180° -(23° +34°) = 123°

Then the length r satisfies ...

ST/sin(R) = RT/sin(S)

ST/sin(123°) = (20 mi)/sin(34°)

ST = (20 mi)sin(123°)/sin(34°) ≈ 30.00 mi

The length of r or ST is 30 miles.
