Question

Solve each triangle. Round your answers to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hi there,

For this problem I would use the law of sines. Start by setting yourself up to find angle C. Your set up should look like:

`(26)/(sin48) = (23)/(sinC)`

C= 41.102 degrees

Now, you can solve for angle B by adding angles A and C together and subtracting by 180.

m<A=48

m<B=90.898

m<C=41.102

To find side "b" I would also use law of sines, although you could do law of cosines if you want. Your setup, if using law of sines, should look like:

`(b)/(sin90.898) = (26)/(sin48)`

b=34.982ft

c=23ft

a=26ft

Hope this helps!
