Solve the triangle. a=24.9 b=15.8 c=24.4 What is the degree measure of angle A? What is the degree measure of angle B? What is the degree measure of angle C?

OpenStudy (alekos):

are you familiar with the cosine rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. :(

OpenStudy (alekos):

\[c ^{2}=a ^{2}+b ^{2}-2ab \cos C\]

OpenStudy (alekos):

by re-arranging the equation and substituting values for a,b&c you can work out cosC and hence the angle C

OpenStudy (alekos):

after that you can use the sine rule to work out A & B
