Solve the triangle shown to the right.
Angles: One angle is 18.2° Another angle is 28.2° Sides: One side (b) is 17.8 units long. What we need to find: The third angle (β) The lengths of the other two sides (a and c) Here's how we'll do it: Find the third angle (β): The angles in a triangle always add up to 180°. β = 180° - 18.2° - 28.2° = 133.6° Find side a and side c: Then, we gotta use the Law of Sines: a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C) Finding side a: a / sin(18.2°) = 17.8 / sin(133.6°) a = (17.8 * sin(18.2°)) / sin(133.6°) ≈ 8.16 Finding side c: c / sin(28.2°) = 17.8 / sin(133.6°) c = (17.8 * sin(28.2°)) / sin(133.6°) ≈ 10.9 Solution: β = 133.6° a ≈ 8.16 c ≈ 10.9
I think it'll be better if I write it out because looking at it this way will make it more confusing so I'm going step by step but thank you <3
I'm going step by step on it
Answer The answer is $$\beta = 133.6^{\circ }$$ and $$\alpha + \gamma = 46.4^{\circ }$$
So here we're gonna combine the numbers: 2 + 28.2 = 46.4 So, the equation becomes: 46.4 + B = 180 Then, we're gonna isolate B: Subtract 46.4 from both sides of the equation: B = 180 - 46.4 Finally, Calculate the result: B = 133.6 Answer: The value of B (Beta) is 133.6
@thatcreepyboy do you have any other ones?
I didn't write it for this but a will be 7.7
