Respuesta :

Answer: AC=12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To  solve this problem you must apply the law of sines, as you can see below:

[tex]\frac{a}{sinA}=\frac{b}{sinB}[/tex]

Where:

a=13

A=85.2°

B=71.6°

Therefore, you must solve for b, then, you obtain that the lenght AC asked in the problem above is:

[tex]b={sinB}*\frac{a}{sinA}\\b=\frac{sin(71.6)*13}{sin(85.2)}\\b=12[/tex]

ANSWER
[tex]AC=12cm[/tex]

EXPLANATION

We use the sine rule to obtain,

[tex] \frac{AC}{ \sin(71.6 \degree) } = \frac{13}{ \sin(85.2 \degree) } [/tex]

We solve for AC to obtain,

[tex]AC= \frac{13}{ \sin(85.2 \degree) } \times \sin(71.6 \degree)[/tex]

We simplify and round to the nearest whole number to obtain,

[tex]AC= 12cm[/tex]
