Question

Caculate the side lengths a and b and round to the two nearest decimals.

Answer 1

This is the problem
I used law of sines to get it but all my answers are a tiny bit off from theirs

Answer 4

what did you get for A and B

Answer 5

Well I did a/sin58 = 8.4/sin 40
is that right?

Answer 6

8.4/sin40 is 11.27 and then you would multiply it by sin 58 which makes it 11,19

Answer 7

did you use the rule of: SOHCAHTOA

Answer 8

no i am using law of sines
a/sin a = b/sin b = c/sin c

Answer 9

you just do the angle and then the side opposite that angle, but if there is another way to find the answer please tell me

Answer 10

i think i know an easier way.. the missing angle is obviously 40 degrees. since you know that the length of c is 8.4, use the sin rule: a/sin a= b/sin b. fill in what you know : a/sin(58)=8.4/sin(40)

Answer 11

right thats what i did but all my answers are like very close to theirs but a tad off

Answer 12

Like I'll get 11.18 but their only 11 option is 11.03

Answer 13

i got 11.03. idk what you did differently

Answer 14

i mean 11.08

Answer 15

can you show me how you did it

Answer 16

to solve for a, i just done 8.4/sin(40) first. then after i get the answer to that, i multiplied it by sin(58)

Answer 17

if you try the opposite like sin a/a =sinb/b instead of a/sin a and b/sin b what do you get?

Answer 18

i did that too but my calculator gave me 11.19

Answer 19

thats strange. well, just eliminate the answers without 11.08 with a

Answer 20

all in all, my final answer is B, i got 12.93 for b

Answer 21

Ok do you think you can explain how you got it?
