Will fan and medal Solve the triangle. A = 32°, a = 19, b = 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B is 23 degrees

@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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@campbell_st

OpenStudy (radar):

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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.

OpenStudy (radar):

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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
