Consider the triangle shown below (not drawn to scale). Let b = 5, angle A = 50 degree and a = 4. Find the measure of angle B if angle B is obtuse, and if angle B is acute. Give your answers to at least 3 decimal places. If angle B is acute, angle B= If angle B is obtuse, angle B=
Solution
b=5 , A=50 degree, a=4
using sine law
sin A/a=sinB/b
sin 50/4=sinB/5
sinB=73.247 degree that is acute angle
B2=180 -73.247=106.753 degree that is obtuse angle .
