let c=5, angle C=120 degrees, and angle b=30 degrees. Find the measure of angle A(in degrees) and the length of sides a and b. Give your anser to at least 3 decimal places.
Solution
c = 5
angle C = 120 deg
angle B = 30 degrees
therefore, by triangle rule sum of angles of a triangle = 180 degrees
angle A = 180 - ( 120 + 30) = 30 degrees
applying sine rule to find the length of a and b
c / sin C = b / sin B
5 / sin 120 = b / sin 30
b = 2.886
and
c / sin C = a / sin A
a = 2.886
