in triangle ABC m
wat is m means here??
measure of angle
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
|dw:1367933020563:dw|
since all angles add up to 180, you can find A right?
use sin formula
then its a law of sines setup
third angle is 180 - sum of other 2
its 106
then sin(106)/30 = sin(B)/b, cross multiply to get b = sin(106)/30sin(106)
.... tripped over my fingers
then sin(106)/30 = sin(B)/b, cross multiply to get b = 30sinB/sin(106) sounds better
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?
sorry i have 30 sin b / SIN 106
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...
afterb i get that fraction couldnt i sin the numbers then relplace them in the problem such as this (30)(.3746) / .9613
you could if you want to yes
because doing it that way i got 11.6904
okay so i have that as an answer correct?
the nearest tenth is 11.7 either way, and yes that is correct
its to the nearest tenth of an integer
yes, the "tenths" position is one to the right of the decie
so 11.7
that would be great :)
thank you lol
