First find angle BDA using the sine rule.
<ADC = 180 - <BDA
OpenStudy (vayacondios1):
whats the sine rule?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
|dw:1465489994948:dw|
OpenStudy (welshfella):
Sine Rule:
a / sin A = b /sin B = c / sin C
OpenStudy (vayacondios1):
how would i work this out like what number would i put where?

Chech triangle BAD in the diagram you are given values of 2 sides and 1 angle. Plug these into sine rule to get value of < BDA
OpenStudy (welshfella):
note that side a is opposite angle A , b opposite <B and c is opposite <C.
OpenStudy (vayacondios1):
ok that makes sense
OpenStudy (vayacondios1):
ill try it
OpenStudy (vayacondios1):
i cant get it srry

I'll give you one part of it
35 / sin 120 = ?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
you need sin <BDA - what is the measure of the side opposite to this angle?
OpenStudy (vayacondios1):
30/sin ?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
30 / sin <BDA yes
so we have
35 / sin 120 = 30 / sin <BDA
solve for sin BDA
OpenStudy (vayacondios1):
do you cross multiply

OpenStudy (welshfella):
yes
OpenStudy (vayacondios1):
i got 1.0 but its wrong
OpenStudy (welshfella):
35 sin <BDA = 30 sin 120
divide both sides by 35
sin < BDA = (30 sin 120) / 35
OpenStudy (vayacondios1):
909.3 or .7 im getting weird numbers and i typed it how it was written
OpenStudy (welshfella):
just enter 30 * sin 120 - what do you get for that?

25.9?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
25.98 yes
now divide that by 35 and you have the value of sin <BDA
OpenStudy (vayacondios1):
1.34
OpenStudy (welshfella):
i think you may have divided the wrong way
its 25.98 / 35
OpenStudy (vayacondios1):
.74

the answer must be less than 1
when you have done that use the sin-1 key on your calculator to find the value of the <BDA
OpenStudy (vayacondios1):
47.9
OpenStudy (welshfella):
yes now find <BDA as above and subtract that from 180 to get <ADC ( beacuse adjacent angles add up to 180 degrees)
OpenStudy (welshfella):
47.9 is correct
OpenStudy (vayacondios1):
is that the final answer?
