A= 48 degrees, c= 10, b = 59 B= ? degrees C= ? degrees. a=?

?

hartnn (hartnn):

DO YOU KNOW SINE LAW ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i do but i am having trouble with it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe i dont know how to use it properly in this question

hartnn (hartnn):

you will first need cosine law, plug in the given values in \(\large a^2 = b^2+c^2-2bc\cos A\) and you'll get a :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg no wonder lol. okay let me see and can u check my answer?

hartnn (hartnn):

sure!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for a i got 54. 5276

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct?

hartnn (hartnn):

i am getting...52.833 let me re-calculate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

hartnn (hartnn):

yup, still getting same. a = 52.833 just using calculator...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show me how you set it up with the numbers substituted?

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\large a^2 = 59^2+10^2-2*10*59\cos 48\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg you are right. i accidently put cos 59 instead of 48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay now to find the angles

hartnn (hartnn):

ohh..k

hartnn (hartnn):

now you can use sine law

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay and can you check to see if i got the sine law correct?

hartnn (hartnn):

ofcourse :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so for angle B I got 56.139?

hartnn (hartnn):

yup correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now i add 56.1 + 48 and subtract that with 180 to get angle C?

hartnn (hartnn):

absolutely correct :)

hartnn (hartnn):

so you got C as ?
