Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve for , we can use the law of sines since we have a non-right-angled triangle and know two angles (67° and 38°) and one side (16.5 mm). Here's how:
-
Sum of angles in a triangle: The third angle in the triangle can be calculated as: So, the third angle is 75°.
-
Using the Law of Sines: The law of sines states:
-
Solving for :
Let's calculate this now.The length of is approximately 10.5 mm, rounded to one decimal place.
