Answer:

[tex](a)\ \sin(46) = \frac{8}{RT}[/tex]

[tex](b)\ RT = 11.1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Solving (a): Equation to determine RT

To do this, we apply sine formula

[tex]\sin(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]\sin(46) = \frac{8}{RT}[/tex]

Solving (b): Solve the equation

[tex]\sin(46) = \frac{8}{RT}[/tex]

Make RT the subject

[tex]RT = \frac{8}{\sin(46)}[/tex]

[tex]RT = \frac{8}{0.7193}[/tex]

[tex]RT = 11.1[/tex]
