already tried it and I didn't get any of the possible answers

Using SOHCAHTOA, which relation would you use to relate the side opposite to the angle and the hypotenuse, $$\sf L$$ ?

6. anonymous

I already used the SOH CAH TOA and I didn't none of the answers :( I don't know if it was my mistake, but I just didn't got none of the answers above...and I tried to solve it many times already

Hm, let's see. $\sf sin(64^\circ) = \frac{225}{L}\implies L=\frac{225}{sini(64^\circ)}=~?$

sin*

oh, yeah it was me....thanks

No problem, haha.

$225 \csc (64 {}^{\circ})=250.335$
