Math Problem Statement
How do you solve for x on this triangle
Solution
To solve for the length of side in this triangle, we can use the Law of Sines, which states:
where are the sides opposite the angles respectively.
The angles given are:
- (opposite to side )
- (opposite to side )
- (third angle of the triangle)
Using the Law of Sines:
Now, let's solve for :
Let's calculate the value of .The length of side is approximately units.
