let the third side is x, use the cosine rule to get x.
x^2 = 34^2 + 43^2 - 2(34)(43)cos50
solve for x, first
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@RadEn then next step
OpenStudy (raden):
after you get x, then the perimeter is sum all sides
perimeter = 34+43+x
what's x do you get ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x^2 or x?

after you get x^2, take the squareroot to get x

correct?
OpenStudy (raden):
i got different like yours
OpenStudy (raden):
x^2 = 34^2 + 43^2 - 2(34)(43)cos50
x^2 = 1156 + 1849 - 2924(cos50)
x^2 = 3005 - 2924 * (0.64)
x^2 = 3005 - 1871.36
x^2 = 1133.64
x = 33.55
yeah, you are right, LOL

@RadEn find the length of the smallest altitude of the triangle
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@RadEn
OpenStudy (anonymous):
help please @RadEn
OpenStudy (raden):
still in the figure no. 1 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[34+43+\sqrt{1156 +1849 - 2924 \text{ Cos}[50{}^{\circ}]}=110.548 \]
