no need to use the law of sines at all

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

take advantage of this property x+y+z = 180 x,y,z are the 3 angles of a triangle

Oh wow, thank you! They give us super easy problems and a lot of times I can't recognize that they can be done easier than they tell us. ._.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you would use the law of sines to solve for the missing sides, but you just want the angle (for now)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you're welcome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no the law of sines applies to any triangle
