The Law of sines defines that in a triangle, (Sin A)/a = (Sin B)/b = (Sin C)/c and as per law of sines the length of BC is 24.
The given triangle is ΔABC, we split the given triangle into two right-angled triangle ΔABD and ΔBCD.
In the triangle ΔABD,
sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse
sin A=BD/AB
BD=(sin A)/AB
And in the triangle ΔBCD,
sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse
sin B=BD/BC
BD=(sin B)/BC
Hence, BD=(sin A)/AB=(sin B)/BC
Let say, (sin A)/a=(sin B)/b
As per law of sine, (sin A)/a=(sin B)/b
Then,
(sin 46°)/a=(sin 31°)/17
a=(17 × sin 46°)/(sin 31°)
a=23.74
a=24
Hence, the value of BC, rounded to the nearest tenth of a unit is 24.
