We know sum of interior angles in any triangle is 180°. Your specific triangle is a right triangle (one angle must be 90°) and we are also given another angle (57°) that means we can find angle T,

[tex]T=180^{\circ}-90^{\circ}-57^{\circ}=33^{\circ}[/tex]

Use the sine function to find [tex]RT[/tex],

[tex]\sin(57^{\circ})=15/RT\implies RT=15/\sin(57^{\circ})\approx17.9[/tex]

Use the tangent function to find [tex]RS[/tex],

[tex]\tan(57^{\circ})=15/RS\implies RS=15/\tan(57^{\circ})\approx9.7[/tex]

Hope this helps.

Answer:

RS=9.7

RT=17.15

m<T=33
