Step-by-step explanation:
In ΔKLM, l = 570 cm, k = 490 cm and ∠K=46°. Find all possible values of ∠L, to the nearest degree.

From the reference sheet (reciprocal version).
\frac{\sin L}{570}=\frac{\sin 46}{490}

Plug in values.
\sin L=\frac{570\sin 46}{490}\approx 0.836783

≈0.836783
Evaluate.
L=\sin^{-1}(0.836783)\approx 56.8\approx 57^{\circ}
L=sin

(0.836783)≈56.8≈57
∘
Inverse sine and round.
\text{Quadrant II: } 180-57=123^{\circ}
Quadrant II: 180−57=123
∘
Sine is positive in quadrants 1 and 2.
