Find all missing angles and sides of the triangle with b 2
Find all missing angles and sides of the triangle with b = 2, c = 3, and B = 40degree. If there is more than one solution, find all solutions. If there is no solution, state \"no solution\".
Solution
Given, b=2, c=3 and B=40o
From Law of Sines, we have
(a/Sin A) = (b/Sin B) = (c/Sin C)
Hence, (b/Sin B) = (c/Sin C) implies that
2/sin 40o = 3/sin C
Sin C = 1.5*0.6428 = 0.9642
C = 74.62o
In a triangle, sum of all the angles = 180o implies that A+B+C = 180o
Hence A+40+74.62 = 180o
A = 65.38o
Hence, (b/Sin B) = (a/Sin A) implies that
(a/sin 65.38) = (2/sin 40)
a = (0.9091*2 / 0.6428) = 2.828
a = 2.83
Hence, a = 2.83, C = 74.62o & A = 65.38o
