a=60, B=42 degrees, C=58 degrees. How would I find the area? a. 1400 b. 2250 c. 1040 d. 1010

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what shape is this that you are finding area for??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do recall what the area of triangle is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b times w times l

OpenStudy (anonymous):

base time height times lenth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is trig right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, Precalculus/Trig

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are there answer choices given?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. a. 1400 b. 2250 c. 1040 d. 1010

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so let us recall what do all sides of a triangle add up to being?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plus is there a right angle on this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know about the right angle :/ The info. I posted is all I was given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay let us use opp/hyp for out trig fucttion.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey we have all the angles here, so therefore there are no missing. So I am thinking now is take the Sin or Cos and see which gives you an answer that matches

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmmm, o.k.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So sin OR cos?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you pick one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the answer you got??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sine rule: just a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm trying to use the sin rule but how do I fill it out if I don't have all the values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have all values all sides have numbers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A,B and C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you draw out the triangle for me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1344562185426:dw| That's my guess... The problem didn't have a drawing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey @godorovg! the area of a "triangle" is |dw:1344476199545:dw|
