Use the law of sines to solve for m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is a image

OpenStudy (raden):

solve for <A, first csinA = asinC 54 sinA = 45 sin67

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got 51.201

OpenStudy (raden):

ok, then A + B + C = 180 51.201 + B + 67 = 180 solve for <B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i rounded 51.201 to 51.3. and i got 61.7 but thats not one of the options

OpenStudy (raden):

that's depend whats the value of <B, i got B = 50.1 show to me your options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

62.3 63.9 62.9 60.9

OpenStudy (raden):

yes, i got <B = 62.9

OpenStudy (raden):

i meant <A = 62.9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so hot do i find b?

OpenStudy (raden):

use law of sine or cosine, they are good methode

OpenStudy (raden):

b^2 = a^2 + c^2 -2ac cosB

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how. its hard for me

OpenStudy (raden):

that's the law of cosine b^2 = a^2 + c^2 -2ac cosB b^2 = 45^2 + 54^2 -2(45)(54) cos(50.1) solve for b

OpenStudy (raden):

got it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no:(

OpenStudy (raden):

b^2 = a^2 + c^2 -2ac cosB b^2 = 45^2 + 54^2 -2(45)(54) cos(50.1) b^2 = 2025 + 2916 - 4860 (0.641) b^2 = 4941 - 3115.26 b^2 = 1825.74 b = squareroot(1825.74) = ....... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

42.728

OpenStudy (raden):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats not one of the options though

OpenStudy (raden):

what are they ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

62.3 63.9 62.9 60.9

OpenStudy (raden):

arent that for the measurement angle B ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah. thats what im looking for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh that was side b

OpenStudy (raden):

that's already clear above, and we are solving for length b,right :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, so m<B is what? im confused :(

OpenStudy (raden):

<B = 50.1 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but that wasnt one of the opptins...

OpenStudy (raden):

sorry, i got backward. error from me.. :) i mean, i got <A = 50.1 and <B = 62.9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was 62.9

OpenStudy (raden):

yes, that's i mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (raden):

dont angry, just typo error above :)

OpenStudy (raden):

so, we are not finding the length of side b ? but it's already done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i was taking a quiz and it asked fr m<B. but it was timed and i got timed out. im going to take it agian soon though so ill have more questions. im not good at law of sines
