Answer:

169.6

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use trig to find the missing side (sin specifically).  sin(x)=opposite/hypotenuse.  where x is the angle.  VWX is 20 degrees.  The side opposite to that angle is VX or 58.  We dont know the hypotenuse.  If we were to substitute values into sin(x)=opposite/hypotenuse, we would get sin(20)=58/hypotenuse.  sin(20) in the calculator is 0.342020143...  so we can rewrite the equation as 0.342020143=58/hypotenuse.  Lets call the hypotenuse h.  If we multiply h on both sides, we can try to find what h is equal to.  0.342020143h=58.  Now we can divide 0.342020143 on both sides to isolate h.  h=169.58... or if we round it, we get 169.6
