Solve the triangle What is the measure of angle A degree Rou
Solve the triangle. What is the measure of angle A? degree (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.) What is the measure of angle B? degree (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.) What is the measure of angle C? degree (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
Solution
a) Angle A : apply cosine rule: a^2 = b^2 +c^2 - 2bccosA
cosA = ( 23^2 +30^2 - 20^2)/2*23*30
A = 41.78 = 41.8 deg
b) Angle B : apply cosine rule: b^2 = a^2 +c^2 - 2accosB
cosB = ( 20^2 +30^2 -23^2)/2*20*30
B =n50.02 = 50.0 deg
c) Angle C = 180 -A -B = 88.2 deg
