1. **State the problem:** We have a right triangle with one side length 28 mm opposite a 60° angle, and we want to find the hypotenuse $s$.
2. **Recall the sine function:** In a right triangle, $\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$.
3. **Apply the formula:** Here, $\theta = 60^\circ$, opposite side = 28 mm, hypotenuse = $s$.
$$\sin(60^\circ) = \frac{28}{s}$$
4. **Use the exact value:** $\sin(60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$.
$$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{28}{s}$$
5. **Solve for $s$:** Multiply both sides by $s$ and then divide both sides by $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$:
$$s = \frac{28}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}$$
6. **Simplify the complex fraction:**
$$s = 28 \times \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$$
7. **Multiply:**
$$s = \frac{56}{\sqrt{3}}$$
8. **Rationalize the denominator:** Multiply numerator and denominator by $\sqrt{3}$:
$$s = \frac{56}{\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{56\sqrt{3}}{3}$$
**Final answer:**
$$s = \frac{56\sqrt{3}}{3} \text{ mm}$$
