Question

In the triangle, if the área is 2995 sq. units, find the missing side

Answer 1

Wut? Is that 112 degrees and 85 degrees???

That can't be right...

Answer 2

oh sorry, 85 is the number for that side and on top it is 112 degrees

Answer 3

So 85 is a length?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

Okay. Got it... :-)

Answer 6

how would you do it?

Answer 7

Okay, it appears that the area of such a triangle is:
area = 1/2 * s1 * s2 * sin(angle)

so let's call s1 "x", and s2 "85". That gives us

2995 = 1/2 * x * 85 * sin(112)

Since we have area, but want to find x, then we can rearrange the furniture this way:

x = 2995/[1/2*85*sin(112)]
