draw a triangle so you can figure out what you are trying to find
hard just with numbers and no picture
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you got one?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
drawing it :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok, draw it here then we can do it

thats about what it looks like
and this is trig that im working on aswell

you want to use the law of sines
\[\frac{a}{\sin(A)}=\frac{b}{\sin(B)}=\frac{c}{\sin(C)}\] you know \(A, b, B\) but you don't know \(C\) except you do
what is \(C\) ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i have no idea but yes its law of sines
OpenStudy (anonymous):
of course you do

i meant \(A=62,B=39,C=?\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if it is not clear, i will tell you
OpenStudy (anonymous):
79
OpenStudy (anonymous):
whew
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats right because triangles =180 degrees

so
\[\frac{15}{\sin(39)}=\frac{c}{\sin(79)}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you have 3 out of the 4 numbers, you can find the fourth
\[c=\frac{15\sin(39)}{\sin(79)}\] and a calculator
