1. The problem involves a right-angled triangle with an angle of 64° and sides labeled 5.8 m and u.
2. We need to determine which equation is correct: A) $\sin 64^\circ = \frac{5.8}{u}$ or B) $\sin 64^\circ = \frac{u}{5.8}$.
3. Recall that $\sin \theta = \frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$.
4. Here, the side opposite the 64° angle is $u$, and the hypotenuse is 5.8 m.
5. Therefore, the correct equation is B: $\sin 64^\circ = \frac{u}{5.8}$.
6. To find $u$, rearrange equation B:
$$u = 5.8 \times \sin 64^\circ$$
7. Calculate $\sin 64^\circ$:
$$\sin 64^\circ \approx 0.8988$$
8. Multiply:
$$u = 5.8 \times 0.8988 = 5.213$$
9. Round to 1 decimal place:
$$u \approx 5.2$$
Final answer: $u = 5.2$ m
