in triangle ABC m

OpenStudy (gorv):

wat is m means here??

OpenStudy (amistre64):

measure of angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes measure of angle the measure of angle B is twenty two degrees i need an explanation tto find the length of b using the law of sines

OpenStudy (amistre64):

|dw:1367933020563:dw|

OpenStudy (amistre64):

since all angles add up to 180, you can find A right?

OpenStudy (gorv):

use sin formula

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then its a law of sines setup

OpenStudy (gorv):

third angle is 180 - sum of other 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 106

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then sin(106)/30 = sin(B)/b, cross multiply to get b = sin(106)/30sin(106)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

.... tripped over my fingers

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then sin(106)/30 = sin(B)/b, cross multiply to get b = 30sinB/sin(106) sounds better

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so i now have 30 sin B but do i not have to use the calculater to sin 106 and then use the decimal it gives to do the rest of the problem or no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i have 30 sin b / SIN 106

OpenStudy (amistre64):

remember B = 22, i was just being lazy :) \[\frac{sinA}{a}=\frac{sinB}{b}\] \[b==\frac{asinB}{sinA}\] \[b==\frac{30sin(22)}{sin(106)}\] my calculator gives me about 11.69109...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

afterb i get that fraction couldnt i sin the numbers then relplace them in the problem such as this (30)(.3746) / .9613

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you could if you want to yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because doing it that way i got 11.6904

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so i have that as an answer correct?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the nearest tenth is 11.7 either way, and yes that is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its to the nearest tenth of an integer

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes, the "tenths" position is one to the right of the decie

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 11.7

OpenStudy (amistre64):

that would be great :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you lol
