LK = 2.91m
JK = 7.99m
Explanation:
hypotenuse = 8.5m
angle = 20°
LK = side opposite the angle 20°
Since we know the hypotenuse and we need to find the opposite, we would apply sine ratio
sine ratio = opposite/hypotenuse
sin 20° = LK/8.5
LK = 8.5(sin 20°)
LK = 8.5(0.3420)
LK = 2.907
To the nearest hundredth, LK = 2.91m
JK = base = adjacent
We would apply cosine ratio
cos 20° = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos 20° = JK/8.5
JK = 8.5(cos20°)
JK = 8.5(0.9397)
JK = 7.98745
To the nearest hundredth, JK = 7.99m
