use law of sines to find B but you might have 2 triangles

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\frac{\sin(A)}{a}=\frac{\sin(B)}{b}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

deja vu all over again

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\frac{\sin(130^o)}{52}=\frac{\sin(B)}{31}\]

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\frac{31}{52} \sin(130^o)=\sin(B)\]

myininaya (myininaya):

\[B=\sin^{-1}(\frac{31}{52}\sin(130^o))\]

making \[B=27.17\] http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=arcsine%2831*sin%28130%29%2F52%29

OpenStudy (anonymous):

only one triangle here, because if A = 130 you don't get two choices for B and C

myininaya (myininaya):

B'=180-27.17=152.83 but A+B'>180 so you only have one triangle

i found b. its just angle c and side c i didnt find

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what myininaya said.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

angle C you get because the angles have to add to 180 so it is \[180-130-27.17\]

myininaya (myininaya):

A+B=130+27.27=157.17 C=180-(A+B)=22.83

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then repeat process to find side c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to do work!!!

myininaya (myininaya):

me too
