Solve for angle A, B & C a=55 b=25 c=72
law o' cosines for this one
I did it, i got my answer, totally makes sense, teacher said its wrong. Looked it up online, says my answer is right.
then tell your teacher he/she made a mistake
But if you do it with law of cosines, you get something that makes no sense.
A=39.3, B=x, C=123
So 123+39.3=?? idk, but then you get B=17.7 But, law of cosines says its 16.7
this is what wolfram gets, see if it matches your answer http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=triangle+a%3D55+b%3D25+c%3D72
123.9, 39.35, 16.75
o.O Well she said my Angle A and C were right?
rounding error is my guess
you only should use law of cosines once, get the largest angle, then use law of sines for the next largest, then subtract total from 180 to get smallest angle
theta=60, so..
