Give exact answers no decimal answers Use either the sin law
Give exact answers, no decimal answers. Use either the sin law (2 sides, 2 angles) or the cosine law (3 Sides. 1 angle). Find the two values of A Recall if theta is a solution to sin theta = a, so is 180 degree - theta when the side opposite is
Solution
Here in question 3), we use cosine formula,
cos B=(a^2+c^2-b^2)/2ac
cos 55= (3^2+5^2-b^2)/2(3)(5)=(9+25-b^2)/30
or
0.5736(30)= 36-b^2
or
17.2=36-b^2or b^2= 36- 17.2 = 18.79
or b= root(18.79) =4.3
so measure of b is 4.3
