Answer:
12.6 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to cosine formula:
[tex]a^2=b^2+c^2-2bc\cos A[/tex]
Using cosine formula in triangle STU, we get
[tex](SU)^2=(ST)^2+(TU)^2-2(ST)(TU)\cos T[/tex]
[tex]t^2=(5)^2+(15)^2-2(5)(15)\cos (53^{\circ})[/tex]
[tex]t^2=25+225-150(0.60)[/tex]
[tex]t^2=160[/tex]
Taking square root on both sides.
[tex]t=\sqrt{160}[/tex]
[tex]t\approx 12.6[/tex]
Therefore, the value of t is 12.6 units.
