Answer 2

Alright, so, I'm so happy cause I got 100%, but this is how you solve the problem.

Since we have the info, here's the formula for it:
`(sinA)/(a) = (sinB)/(b)`

Since it doesn't have ΔABC, We'll use the acronyms of their names to make it easier. ΔMBK. We're solving for the length of K to M.

`(sinB)/(b) = (sinK)/(k)`


`(sin50)/(b) = (sin63)/(14)`

The substitutions for these are the numbers that represent them and the b is the length between K and M.


`14sin50 = bsin63`

`(14sin50)/(sin63) = (bsin63)/(sin63)`

`12.0365248879...=b`

b = 12.0

Hope this helps you. :D
