Find the area of the triangle with the given measurements. Round the solution to the nearest hundredth if necessary. B = 74°, a = 14 cm, c = 20 cm

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

Do you know the law of sines?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WOOO got it :D I found the answer as 134.58

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

Oh Great! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait let me check first, I used the formula 1/2acsinB?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL thank you xD but there is one more question I actually need help with about triangles, mind helping me?

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

Not at all.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay thank you!! the question is Two triangles can be formed with the given information. Use the Law of Sines to solve the triangles. B = 49°, a = 16, b = 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am really finicky with law of sines D:

Do you know heron's formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would A be 59.6??!

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

Hold on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mmk :)

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

How much is sin inverse of 0.8252523?

Yes you are almost correct!! :D

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

I think it is 55.6 :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not calculateing but If you are calculating then you are right! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL I mess up though!! :( crap. lol let me double check

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

Yes and then just use herons formula! By finding out s the semi-permiter \[\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't find little c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I feel like it's wrong way

OpenStudy (anonymous):
