we can find all what angle are you looking for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m<c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{\sin(39)}{24}=\frac{\sin(C)}{38}\] so \[\sin(C)=\frac{38\sin(39)}{24}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then a calculator once you find \(\sin(C)\) then you find \(C\) by taking the arcsine of the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or you can do it all in one step if you like http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=arcsin%2838*sin%2839%29%2F24%29

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 23.4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

according to wolfram it is 85.15 unless i put it in wrong did you check the link?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in any case 38 is larger than 24, so the angle has to be larger than 39

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My fault I pressed the wrong button...85.2...had to round
