Find the missing parts of the triangle Round to the nearest
Find the missing parts of the triangle. Round to the nearest tenth when necessary or to the nearest minute as appropriate. C = 122.2degree a = S km b = 10.4 km c = 22 km, A = 22.5degree, B = 35.3degree No triangle satisfies the given conditions. c = 19.1 km, A = 26.5degree, B = 31.3degree c = 16.2 km, A = 24.5degree, B = 33.3degree
Solution
C = 122.2 deg ; a= 8 km ; b = 10.4km
use the cosine rule to find c:
c^2 = a^2 +b^2 -2a*bcosC
=8^2 +10.4^2 -2*8*10.4cos122.2
c = 16.15 = 16.2 km
Use sine rule : a/sinA = c/sinC
sinA = a*sinC/c = 8*sin122.2/16.2 =0.4178
A = 24.69 = 24.7 deg
B = 180 -A -C = 33.1 deg
So, we can see last option is approximately has same solution
