Answer

The value of n=78.4

Work Step by Step

We are given that the angle is 49$^o$ and the opposite length is 59.2 Following the Sin rule of $ \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$, we write our equation as $Sin(49) = 59.2/n $. We can simplify this equation by multiplying both sides of the equation by n as well as dividing both sides of the equation by Sin(49). This results in the equation $n = \frac{59.2}{sin49}$. Solving for the right side would give us the answer of 78.4.
