@LegendarySadist

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well a and c are both going to be the same angle. So a+a+85=180. That will give us the angles of a and c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so whats next

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the law of sines to find b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm could you set that up for me :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well let's get all of our variables. What would the proportion of angle A be to side a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16 sin ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well what is angle A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it doesn't tell us

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer 21.62?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
