Tiara -Always sketch a picture of the triangle to help see what the problem is asking.Now that you have a sketch, the formula that includes the unknown side "x" or the hypotenuse is the sine function:sin(62) = 50/xNow, just solve for x. I'll leave it for you to do the math.Hope that helps

Draw a triangle with hypotenues x, adjacent side as 50,angle B as 28 deg, angle A as 62 Find tan 28=b/50 and solve for b sin28=b/x and plug in for b from the previous one and solve for x
