1. **State the problem:** We have a right triangle with angles 64° and 32°, and the base length is 6.4 meters. We need to find the height $u$ and the hypotenuse $v$.
2. **Recall the triangle angle sum rule:** The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. Since the triangle is right-angled, the right angle is 90°, so the other two angles are 64° and 32°.
3. **Identify sides relative to angle 64°:**
- Base (adjacent to 64°) = 6.4 m
- Height $u$ (opposite to 64°)
- Hypotenuse $v$
4. **Use trigonometric ratios:**
- $\tan(64^\circ) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{u}{6.4}$
- $\cos(64^\circ) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{6.4}{v}$
5. **Calculate $u$:**
$$u = 6.4 \times \tan(64^\circ)$$
Using $\tan(64^\circ) \approx 2.0503$,
$$u = 6.4 \times 2.0503 = 13.12$$ meters
6. **Calculate $v$:**
$$v = \frac{6.4}{\cos(64^\circ)}$$
Using $\cos(64^\circ) \approx 0.4384$,
$$v = \frac{6.4}{0.4384} = 14.60$$ meters
**Final answers:**
- Height $u = 13.12$ meters
- Hypotenuse $v = 14.60$ meters
