Answer to Problem 16T
The value of
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The value of angle is
Formula used:
Law of Sines
Calculation:
Label the triangle.
The given triangle has two sides and one angle adjacent to one side.
Then for SSA, use law of sine.
First find the angle opposite to the second side which is given.
Use the law of Sines in given triangle.
Substitute
Use scientific calculator to find the value of
Thus, the value for
To find the third angle
Substitute
Thus, the third angle
Use law of sine to find third side
Substitute
