After rotating his surveying instrument 25° to the left, he “shoots” another line to a point on a fence post 25 m away. I deduced that side s = 34.02 m, so... b.) Use the Law of Sines to find the measure of angle T. (Show the appropriate formula, substitutions, and work. Give the measure of angle T to the nearest degree.) c.) Find the measure of angle F.
