The lengths of the two sides of a triangle not necessarily a
The lengths of the two sides of a triangle (not necessarily a right triangle) are 1.00 meters and 1.48 meters. The sine of the angle opposite the side of length 1.00 meters is 0.126. What is the sine of the angle opposite the side of length 1.48 meters?
Solution
applying sine rule
let sine of angle opposite the side of 1.48 metres = x
then by sine rule
1 / .126 = 1.48 / x
solving for x
x = 1.48 * .126
x = .18648
