Solve the triangle if C = 120°, B = 50°, and c = 15.
Find A.
Round to the nearest tenth.

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • A = 10°
  • a = 3.0
  • b = 13.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of sines is useful. First we need to find the remaining angle.

  A + B + C = 180°

  A = 180° - B - C = 180° -50° -120°

  A = 10°

Now we can find the other two sides.

  a/sin(A) = c/sin(C)

  a = c(sin(A)/sin(C)) = 15(sin(10°)/sin(120°)) ≈ 3.00767 ≈ 3.0

  b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

  b = c(sin(B)/sin(C)) = 15(sin(50°)/sin(120)) ≈ 13.2683 ≈ 13.3

___

The solution is A = 10°, a = 3.0, b = 13.3.
