One acute angle of a right triangle measures 28°. To the nearest tenth, what is the length of the side opposite that angle if the hypotenuse measures 16 meters?

A. 7
B. 7.5
C. 8.5
D. 8

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
