In ΔABC, BC = 12.35, AC = 8.75 centimeters, and m∠B = 37°. What are m∠A and m∠C to two decimal places? m∠A ≈ 25.24°, m∠C ≈ 117.76° m∠A ≈ 58.15°, m∠C ≈ 84.85° m∠A ≈ 25.24°, m∠C ≈ 64.76° m∠A ≈ 58.15°, m∠C ≈ 31.85°

law of sines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got a picture? look like a law of sines problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to solve a law of sines problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no there wasnt one its just hard for me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

These ratio's each have the same total

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the first thing we need to do is find the ratio

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we can find with b/sinB

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you find that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b = 8.75 B = 37

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i really forgot i stink at math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8.75/sin(37)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the answer to that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-13.5967078662

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, put your calculator in degree mode

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the ratio is 14.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14.5393512348

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok got that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now we can find the angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets find A first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do we do tht

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a/sinA = 14.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at the triangle and tell me what 'a' is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the neasure of AC is 8.75 but it doesnt have an angle measure
