Solve the triangle The Law of Cosines may be needed Standard
Solve the triangle. The Law of Cosines may be needed. (Standard notation for triangle ABC is used throughout. Round your answer to two decimal places. If no such triangle exists, enter \'NONE\' in each of the answer blanks.)
b = 18.4, c = 4.4, B = 36.1°
Solution
law of sine is
a/sinA =b/sinB =c/sinC
we know b and c
so b/sinB =c/sinC
18.4/sin36.1 = 4.4/sinC
sinC = 4.4 *0.59 /18.4
sinC = 2.596/18.4
SinC=0.141
C= 8.1
we know A+B+C=180
A+36.1 +8.1 =180
A= 136 degree 58\'
a/sin136.58 = 18.4/sin36.1
a = 18.4*0.69/0.59
a= 21.52
