Solve the triangle Not a right triangle a 2 c 1 B 10degre
Solve the triangle (Not a right triangle) a = 2, c = 1, B = 10^degree
Solution
a = 2; c=1 ; B =10
Apply cosine rule : b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2a*c*cosB
= 2^2 + 1 -2*2*1cos10
= 5 - 4cos10
b = 1.03
Apply sine rule : a/sinA = b/sinB
sinA = a*sinB /b = 2*sin10/1.03 = 0.337
A1 = 19.70 deg ; A2 = 180 -19.70 = 160.3 deg
C1 = 180 -B - A1 = 150.3 deg ; C2 = 180- 160.3 -10 = 9.7 deg
