sin N / 9 = sin 48° / 7
sin N = 9 × sin 48° / 7 [M1]
sin N = 9 × 0.7431 / 7 = 0.9554
N = sin⁻¹(0.9554) = 72.9° (1 d.p.) [A1]

Total: 3 marks


9. Using cosine rule: cos E = (DE² + EF² − DF²) / (2 × DE × EF) [M1]
cos E = (11² + 15² − 8²) / (2 × 11 × 15) [M1]
cos E = (121 + 225 − 64) / 330
cos E = 282 / 330 = 0.8545
E = cos⁻¹(0.8545) = 31.3° (1 d.p.) [A1]
