A triangle with a perimeter of 20cm. Two angles are 30 and 50. What are the lengths of the sides in cm.

Since the sum of the three angles of any triangle is 180°, we
have that the third angle is 180° - (30°+50°) = 180° - 80° = 100° 

I'll arbitrarily let angle A = 30°, angle B = 100°, and angle C = 50°

By the law of sines,














Perimeter = a + b + c = 20, so substituting in

,
