Question

The main sail of a sailboat has the dimensions shown in the figure at the right. What is the height of the main sail?

Answer 1

Answer:

$h = 16.1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$sin A /a = sin B / b = sin C/c$   where A is angle and a is side opposite of angle

$sin (49) / h = sin(41)/ 14$       cross-multiply

$h*sin(41) = 14 * sin(49)$

$h = (14*sin(49))/ sin(41)$

$h = 16.1$
