Am I right?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

#1 is wrong.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Law of sines can be used for any triangle whether it is a right triangle or not.

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

ok

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

#2 is also wrong...

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

and I can't properly see the angles for question 3...

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

For the second one is it the last one?

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

@TheSmartOne

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Question #3 is also wrong .-.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

And again you got #2 wrong... .-.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

For #3, You have to use the law of cosines: \(\sf\Large b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2abcos\beta \)

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

how do I find C though?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

For #2, You have to use the law of sines. \(\sf\Large\frac{sin\alpha}{a}=\frac{sin\beta }{b}=\frac{sin \gamma }{c}\)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Oops, my bad. We have to use law of sines for #3 also.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Or, if you are really lazy and don't want to do any work, you can use an online calculator to figure it out for you: http://www.mathwarehouse.com/triangle-calculator/online.php

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

I have a graphing calculator with me, how wold I type it in for #2?

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

Because I typed in sin(7)/7 and got 0.174099062

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\sf \Large \frac{sin45}{a}=\frac{sin\gamma}{7}\) To find \(\sf \gamma\) \(\sf \gamma = 180 - 110 - 45\) And then do sin of that and solve for \(\sf a\)

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

So Sin(25)/7?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Now do the cross mutliplication

@TheSmartOne may you help me?
