Solve this triangle and check for Ambiguous Case. a=6, b=8, A=35(degrees)
I solved the triangle already...I just dont know how to check for the ambiguous case.
B=50(degrees) C=95(degrees) c=10
it can't be \(6-8-10\) because that is a right triangle
are you sure? I did law of sine to find all the measures and those are the answers I got.
6 - 8 - 10 is the same as 3 - 4 - 5
Im not sure what that means...should I explain how I came to these answers?
\[6^2+8^2=10^2\] so it is a right triangle but maybe you are close
here is angle \(B\) http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=arcsin%284%2F3sin%2835%29
looks like about 49.89 degrees
making angle \(C\) 95.11 degrees
i get \(c=10.42\) rounded http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=6sin%2895.11%29%2Fsin%2835%29
Well yeah I rounded them off...My professor always rounds..and she tells us its allowed...should I not do that?
