Please Help?!
i am sorry idk.
use the laws of cosine
to find the remaining side use a^2= b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos a in your case: a= the number your trying to find b=3 c=4 cos a = .9659 (you can round it to the nearest hundredth)
you would use the same equation but, a= the number you are trying to find b= 176.27 c=222.34 cos a=.7816 this would like... a^2= 31071.1129+49435.0756-(78383.7436) .7816 a^2= 80509.1885-61264.734 a^2= 19244.4545 now to get a you must square root that number to get: a=138.7243832 (you can round that if you need to) Hope this helps
For the first one after I find the length of side a how do I find angle B and angle C?
all you would need to do is find the angle of one and then add the two and subtract by 180 to find the other. for angle B: b^2= a^2 +c^2-2ac cos b for angle c: c^2= a^2 +b^2-2ab cos c
Okay. Thank you!
