Question 1037897: Consider a triangle ABC. Supposed that A = 42 degrees,
C = 37 degrees, and b = 31. (Figure not drawn to scale.
Solve the triangle.
Round your answer to the nearest tenth. If there
is more than one solution, use the "or"
B = ? degrees
a = ?
c = ?

This one IS drawn to scale! :)  Measure the angles and see!

  

First we find angle B:

    A + B + C = 180°
42° + B + 37° = 180°
      79° + B = 180°
            B = 101°

Use the law of sines:





Taking the first two:









Taking the last two:







You can round to nearest tenth!  :)
