Determine the length of MN to the nearest tenth of a centimetre. Select one or more:
a. 3.0 cm
b. 4.0 cm
c. 2.8 cm
d. 2.1 cm

  b.  4.0 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse is given by the cosine of the angle:

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  cos(35°) = NL/NK

  NL = NK·cos(35°)

__

Similarly, it reminds you that the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse is given by the sine function:

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(53°) = NM/NL

  NM = NL·sin(53°)

Substituting from the first triangle, we have ...

  NM = NK·cos(35°)·sin(53°)

  NM = (6.1 cm)(0.81915)(0.79864)

  NM ≈ 3.991 cm

  MN ≈ 4.0 cm
