Solve this triangle and check for Ambiguous Case. a=6, b=8, A=35(degrees)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I solved the triangle already...I just dont know how to check for the ambiguous case.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B=50(degrees) C=95(degrees) c=10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it can't be \(6-8-10\) because that is a right triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sure? I did law of sine to find all the measures and those are the answers I got.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 - 8 - 10 is the same as 3 - 4 - 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im not sure what that means...should I explain how I came to these answers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[6^2+8^2=10^2\] so it is a right triangle but maybe you are close

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is angle \(B\) http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=arcsin%284%2F3sin%2835%29

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looks like about 49.89 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

making angle \(C\) 95.11 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get \(c=10.42\) rounded http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=6sin%2895.11%29%2Fsin%2835%29

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well yeah I rounded them off...My professor always rounds..and she tells us its allowed...should I not do that?
