Solution

To solve this problem, we will use the Law of Sines, which states that the ratio of the length of a side of a triangle to the sine of the angle opposite that side is the same for all three sides of the triangle.

  1. First, we can find the value of ∠M using the Law of Sines. We have:

    sin(∠M) = n * sin(∠N) / o

    Substituting the given values:

    sin(∠M) = 1.9 * sin(69°) / 6.4

    ∠M = arcsin(1.9 * sin(69°) / 6.4)

  2. To find ∠O, we subtract the sum of ∠M and ∠N from 180° (since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°).

    ∠O = 180° - ∠M - ∠N

  3. However, there is also a possibility that ∠M is obtuse. In this case, ∠M = 180° - arcsin(1.9 * sin(69°) / 6.4). Then, we can find ∠O using the same formula as in step 2.

So, there are two possible values for ∠O, depending on whether ∠M is acute or obtuse.
