@nincompoop @TheSmartOne @iGreen @radar @Compassionate @SolomonZelman @amistre64
OpenStudy (campbell_st):
looks like the rule of sines...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Can you work me through it I honestly do not know

The easy part will be to solve for angle C, since you know that the three angles total 180 degrees, and you already know 2 of them.
OpenStudy (campbell_st):
draw a diagram |dw:1418778150733:dw|
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I only know B
OpenStudy (anonymous):
125?
OpenStudy (radar):
You say that angle A is 32 degrees.

Oh yea
OpenStudy (radar):
Then you say Angle B is 23 degrees.
OpenStudy (campbell_st):
find C using angle sum of a triangle|dw:1418778238445:dw|
then its the law of cosines to find c
\[c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos(C)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so then how do i get little c
OpenStudy (radar):
I would us Law of Sines as suggest by campbell_st in the first post.

Have you solved for angle C yet?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
39 is what I got
OpenStudy (radar):
39 + 23 + 32 does not equal 180 degrees.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
125 ops
OpenStudy (radar):
It is going to be larger than 90 degrees.

125
OpenStudy (campbell_st):
that's correct for C
now use the law of cosines
OpenStudy (radar):
Yes, now you know that Law of Sinces
Sine 125/ c = Sine 32/19
OpenStudy (anonymous):
29.4 is little c
