Question

If someone helps me with a few problems I will gift them with a $5 starbucks card.... trig help: The area of a triangle is 50 square inches. Find the length of the side included between A = 45° and C = 110°. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Answer 1

You don't have to bribe here :) A medal and fan do nicely, so anyways, can you draw a picture to start?

Answer 2

im pretty desperate.... yeah but all i get are the angles.. i have no idea how to obtain sides

Answer 3

If i had a side I can apply the law of cosines or sine...
but just angles with the area

Answer 4

wait, just work with me here. Draw a picture and label everything you can to start

Answer 5

how did you get a 125 degree angle

Answer 6

oops

Answer 7

i mean to write 25

Answer 8

ok, just making sure

Answer 9

so, I'm going to add a line, I want you to label the line using a variable(you'll know which) and the angle I create bu adding the line

Answer 10

ooooo

Answer 11

ok, give it a try for me?

Answer 12

give me a sec... working on it

Answer 13

okeedokey

Answer 14

still working on it

Answer 15

okee

Answer 16

sorry i took so long.. i was applying formulas..

Answer 17

no formula needed?

Answer 18

I got it now though.. it is 8

Answer 19

what's 8?

Answer 20

the answer

Answer 21

uh ok, well I haven't done it so I have no clue lol, if you show me your work I'll check it, but you do know that the line I drew isn't the side it wants right?

Answer 22

ok so i got... that the side between 110 and 45 is sqrt of 2
bc a 45 degree angle is is 1,1,sqrt2

Answer 23

almost, it's 1*y, 1*y, ysqrt2

Answer 24

you need to multiply the side length of the side by the sqrt of two

Answer 25

ok well i applied the law of sin to get the other two sides... once i did that...i inserted it in the formula: 1/2 bcsinA.... which gave me 50= 1/2(xsqrt2)(3.144) sin45... which gave me..50=xsqrt2 (3.1444x)(.70710)... which eventually gave me x=5.639 then I just multiplied it by sqrt of 2... and got 8... which is the side it asked for.

Answer 26

so you had the wrong but you don't have any side lengths yet?

Answer 27

8 is the side.. it was right

Answer 28

ok, well... how you went about it, I have no clue how you got it, you don't have any side lengths and didn't find any, but if the answer is right.. ok (I'm pretty sure this glitch only works if you have a 45 degree angle, so ok)

Answer 29

well i think u would have to see my work.... and then u would understand clearly.. but either way i arrived at the answer because of u so thank u...

Answer 30

so I have two other problems.. could you help me with those?

Answer 31

np, (although the strict teacher in me would probably only give 1/2 credit due to an incorrect assumption) but anyways, just make a new question and tag me.
