Question

Just need help with the way. thanks!

Answer 1

Answer:

KN ≈ 20.7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in right triangle KLM to find KM

LM² = KL² + KM²

28² = 16² + KM²

784 = 256 + KM² ( subtract 256 from both sides )

528 = KM² ( take the square root of both sides )

$\sqrt{528}$ = KM

----------------------------------------

Using the sine ratio in right triangle KMN

sin64° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{KN}{KM}$ = $\frac{KN}{\sqrt{528} }$ ( multiply both sides by $\sqrt{528}$

$\sqrt{528}$ × sin64° = KN , that is

KN ≈ 20.7 cm ( to 1 dec. place )
