Triangle E D F is shown. Angle E D F is 43 degrees and angle D F E is 82 degrees. The length of D F is 15.

What is the measure of angle E?
m∠E =

°

What is the length of EF rounded to the nearest hundredth?
EF ≈

Part 1

Angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees, so

[tex]m\angle E=180^{\circ}-82^{\circ}-43^{\circ}=55^{\circ}[/tex]

Part 2

By the Law of Sines,

[tex]\frac{EF}{\sin 43^{\circ}}=\frac{15}{\sin 55^{\circ}}\\\\EF=\frac{15 \sin 43^{\circ}}{\sin 55^{\circ}}\\\\EF \approx 12.49[/tex]
