If triangle ABC has A = 52 degrees, side a = 200, and side b = 234, then which of the following is true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, if this is a right triangle we can use the law of sines, and obtain a solution. if it is not a right triangle, I fear there is no way to find any information about the triangle becuaue we need one more side length inorder to use the law of cosines

@DemolisionWolf could it possibly be A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey, do we know if it is a right triangle or not? if it is then it could be A, B, D, if its not a right triangle then its what I said above...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the law of sines look like this: \[\frac{ \sin(a) }{ side a} = \frac{ \sin(b) }{ sid b}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we have side a, b and angle a, but we don't have angle b, but angle b is the one in question. but we can only use this equation if the triangle is a right triangle. make sense? i don't want to sound repetative, but i'm not the best teacher!
