Question

PLEASE HELP!! how many triangles can be drawn if two sides are 4 and 6 and a non included angle is 48 degrees? Consider both ways this can be drawn and answer both situations. Show all work leading to your conclusion.

Answer 1

I am not sure what they are looking for or how to find it sorry.

Answer 2

Is this for geometry?

Answer 3

it's trig

Answer 4

Oh ok.

Answer 5

Is there a diagram with it?

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

So we know that we need to find how many times a triangle can be drawn using our given information right?

Answer 8

All i got was: "How many triangles can be drawn if two sides are 4 and 6 and a non included angle is 48 degrees? Consider both ways this can be drawn and answer both situations. Show all work leading to your conclusion."

Answer 9

So we need to draw it in two ways.

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

So we need to draw two triangles with the distances and the angle measure. When we do the angle measure we will put the 48 in one on top and the 48 in another on bottom.

Answer 12

Sorry I was drawing and solving. Have you learned about the sine law?

Answer 13

Since we got a value for x in the second one this is the only way we were able to draw it.

Answer 14

I hope you understand what I did here please let me know when you come back.

Answer 15
