Use the law of sines to solve the triangle if possible A396

Use the law of sines to solve the triangle, if possible.

A=39.6°, a=23, b=26

Solution

According to Law of Sines (a/sinA)=(b/SinB)=(c/sinC)

So, (23/sin39.6) = (26/sinB)

sinB= (26x0.64)/23 = 0.72

so, angle B=sin-1(0.72) = 46.10

Now in triangle ABC,

we have , angle A+ angleB + angleC=1800

So, angle C= 180-39.6-46.1=94.30

Angle C= 94.30

Once again we may use Law of Sines:-

(a/sinA) = (c/sinC)

(23/sin39.6) = (c/sin94.3)

Hence, c = (23x0.997)/0.64 = 35.98

Therefore the triangle is solved as:

A = 39.60, B = 46.10, C = 94.30   and

a = 23,   b = 26   and c = 35.98.  

Use the law of sines to solve the triangle, if possible. A=39.6°, a=23, b=26SolutionAccording to Law of Sines (a/sinA)=(b/SinB)=(c/sinC) So, (23/sin39.6) = (26/
