1. **Problem statement:** We have a right triangle ABC with a right angle at C, angle B = 67°, side b = 10.6 opposite to angle C, and side a opposite to angle A. We need to find side a using SOH-CAH-TOA.
2. **Recall SOH-CAH-TOA:** For angle B, sine relates the opposite side to the hypotenuse: $$\sin(B) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{a}{c}$$
3. **Identify sides:** Since angle B = 67°, side a is opposite angle B, side c is hypotenuse.
4. **Use cosine for side b:** $$\cos(B) = \frac{b}{c}$$ so $$c = \frac{b}{\cos(B)}$$
5. **Calculate hypotenuse c:** $$c = \frac{10.6}{\cos(67^\circ)}$$
6. **Calculate side a:** Using sine,
$$a = c \times \sin(67^\circ) = \frac{10.6}{\cos(67^\circ)} \times \sin(67^\circ)$$
7. **Simplify expression:**
$$a = 10.6 \times \frac{\sin(67^\circ)}{\cos(67^\circ)} = 10.6 \times \tan(67^\circ)$$
8. **Calculate numeric value:**
$$a \approx 10.6 \times 2.35585 = 24.97$$
**Final answer:**
$$a \approx 24.97$$
