A triangle has two sides with lengths of 42 and 37. The measure of the angle opposite the latter is 20degrees. Find all possible measures of the angle opposite the side with a lenght of 42 to nearest deg. What does it mean by latter? Is it just a typo? Anyways I got 22.8 degrees and 157.2 degrees am I correct?

OpenStudy (nikato):

latter refers to the second side. so its saying the angle opposite the side with length 37 is 20 degrees. |dw:1417491009103:dw|

So I got it right? Sin20 deg./37= SinC/42 = 42sin20deg/37= sin C =0.3882 deg. =sinC Inverse function 22.8 deg = C 180 deg- 22.8 deg= 157.2 deg

yes you are correct
