Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A. Aequals enter your response heredegrees (Type an integer or a decimal.) B. There is no solution.
Solution
To solve the triangle using the Law of Sines, we start by finding the measure of angle .
First, we use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees:
Given:
We can find by subtracting the sum of and from 180 degrees:
Therefore, the measure of angle is:
So the correct choice is: A. degrees
Would you like the detailed steps for finding the lengths of the other sides using the Law of Sines, or do you have any other questions?
Here are 5 questions you might consider asking:
- How do you use the Law of Sines to find the length of side ?
- Can you explain the Law of Cosines and when to use it?
- What is the formula for the Law of Sines?
- How do you solve a triangle given two sides and an included angle?
- What are the possible scenarios for the number of solutions in a triangle problem?
Tip: Always double-check your angle measures to ensure they sum to 180 degrees in a triangle.
