color(blue)(f = 36sqrt3, hat F = 60^@, hat E = 90^@f=363,ˆF=60,ˆE=90

Explanation:

color(blue)(d = 36, hat D = 30, e = 72d=36,ˆD=30,e=72

Applying law of sines,

hatE = sin ^-1 ((sin D * e) / d) = sin ^-1 ((sin 30 * 72)/36) = 90^@ˆE=sin1(sinDed)=sin1(sin307236)=90

hat F = 180 - 30 - 90 = 60^@ˆF=1803090=60

It’s a right triangle with angles 30, 60, 9030,60,90

:. f = sqrt3 * 36 = 62.3538
