Answer:
[tex] s = 14.1 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Find s using the Law of Cosines:
m < S = 31°
SR = q = 21
SQ = r = 9
QR = s = ?
Thus,
[tex] s^2 = r^2 + q^2 - 2(r)(q)*cos(S) [/tex]
[tex] s^2 = 9^2 + 21^2 - 2(9)(21)cos(31) [/tex]
[tex] s^2 = 81 + 441 - 378*0.8572 [/tex]
[tex] s^2 = 522 - 324.0216 [/tex]
[tex] s^2 = 197.9784 [/tex]
[tex] s = \sqrt{197.9784} [/tex]
[tex] s = 14.07 [/tex]
[tex] s = 14.1 [/tex] (to the nearest tenth)
