Solve the triangle using Law of sines or cosines.
A=42(angle A)
b=120 (side b)
c=160 (side c)
Keep all decimals until the end, then round.
°
Make sure your calculator is in DEGREE mode
and not RADIAN mode.
Punch that in your calculator and you get:
Then taking square roots of both sides
Now we use the law of sines:
We need only the first two parts:
cross-multiply:
Divide both sides by a
Substitute:
Calculate
No use the inverse sine key
on your calculator
°
Now we find angle C from
°
°
So the three missing parts are
°
°
But using the rounding rules, the angles
should be rounded to the nearest degree just
like the given angle 42°, and the side should
be rounded to the nearest two significant
digits. So using the rounding rules:
(side a)
° (Angle B)
° (Angle C)
