For this case what we can do is the following rule of three:
24.3 -----> 130%
x ---------> 100%
We clear the value of x:
x = (100/130) * (24.3)
x = 18.7 grams
Answer:
the current mass of the object was:
x = 18.7 grams

</span></span></span>
<span><span><span> sin(20) = 10/ hypotenuse</span></span></span>
<span><span><span>hypotenuse = 10/sin(20) = 29.238 ( round off as necessary)</span></span></span>
