Answer:

AB = 6.97 (nearest hundredth)

Explanation:

Sine Trigonometric Ratio


\sf \sin(\theta)=(O)/(H)

where:


  • \theta is the angle
  • O is the side opposite the angle
  • H is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)

Given:


  • \theta = 35°
  • O = AC = 4 units
  • H = AB

Substitute the given values and solve for AB:


\implies \sf \sin(\theta)=(O)/(H)


\implies \sf \sin(35^(\circ))=(4)/(AB)


\implies \sf AB=(4)/(\sin(35^(\circ)))


\implies \sf AB=6.973787182...

Therefore, AB = 6.97 (nearest hundredth)
