Find the missing parts of the triangle A 961 degree b 152
Find the missing parts of the triangle. A = 96.1 degree b = 15.2 ft a = 30.4 ft
Solution
Using the cosine law,
c2 = a2 + b2 2ab cosA
c2 = 30.4^2 + 15.2^2 - 2*30.4*15.2cos96.1
c = 35.4 ft
Now, sine law,
sin B / b = sin A / a = sin 96.1/30.4
=> sin B = 0.497
B = arcsin (0.497) = 29.8 deg
Therefore angle C = 180 - (96.1 + 29.8) = 54.1 deg
