1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the values of ss and tt in the given right triangle, using sine and cosine functions, and rounding the answers to the nearest tenth. The hypotenuse is 34, and the angle is 2323^\circ.

2. Solution Steps

First, we want to find the value of ss. We can use the cosine function since ss is adjacent to the given angle 2323^\circ, and 34 is the hypotenuse.
cos(θ)=adjacenthypotenuse \cos(\theta) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}
cos(23)=s34 \cos(23^\circ) = \frac{s}{34}
s=34cos(23) s = 34 \cos(23^\circ)
s34(0.9205) s \approx 34(0.9205)
s31.297 s \approx 31.297
Rounding to the nearest tenth gives s31.3s \approx 31.3.
Next, we want to find the value of tt. We can use the sine function since tt is opposite to the given angle 2323^\circ, and 34 is the hypotenuse.
sin(θ)=oppositehypotenuse \sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}
sin(23)=t34 \sin(23^\circ) = \frac{t}{34}
t=34sin(23) t = 34 \sin(23^\circ)
t34(0.3907) t \approx 34(0.3907)
t13.2838 t \approx 13.2838
Rounding to the nearest tenth gives t13.3t \approx 13.3.

3. Final Answer

s31.3s \approx 31.3
t13.3t \approx 13.3
