3. Given triangle ABC, B = 42°, a =4.5, b = 4, solve A and c
Solution
angle B = 42 degrees
a = 4.5
b = 4
applying law of sines
a/sin A = b / sin B = c / sin C
pligging the values we get
4.5 / sin A = 4 / sin 42
sin A = .75277
A = sin^-1 (.75277)
A = 48.8310 degrees
angle C = 180 - ( 42 + 48.8310) = 89.17 degrees
4 / sin 42 = c / sin 89.17
c = 5.977
