law).

need a picture or something

chrisplusian · Answer

I am able to determine the simple things but I can't see how to find the third angle. Since it is not a right triangle I can't use pythagorean, and I don't have enough information to use law of sines, or cosines. The only thing I could think of is somehow converting the T= 600lb into ft somehow (but it does not seem possible)

YOu can see where I wrote over the original

chrisplusian · Answer

I agree but the units don't match

chrisplusian · Answer

the law of cosines can't be applied when I have 600lb for the hypotenuse, and just feet for the legs of the triangle
