To solve for the value of ?, we can use the Law of Sines, which states:

sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b = sin(C)/c

Let's call the unknown angle as ? and its opposite side as x.

Since we are given two angles (38° and 29°) and one side (10), we have:

sin(38°)/10 = sin(29°)/x

We can cross multiply to solve for x:

x = 10(sin(29°)/sin(38°))
x ≈ 7.8

To find the value of ?, we can use the following equation:

? = sin^(-1)(x/b)

? = sin^(-1)(7.8/10)
? ≈ sin^(-1)(0.78)
? ≈ 51.3°

Rounded to the nearest tenth, one decimal place, the value of ? is 51.3°

Therefore, the closest answer choice is:

D. ? = 52.7°
