You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(1) sum of angles in triangle is 180 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "78 +x +x =180,,x= 51 degrees, ( 2 legs @ 8 cause isosceles triangle with base angles the same)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "check (sin 78 / 10) = .0978,,,(sin 51 / 8 = .0971),,,,ok (obeys law of sines)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(2) Please check to see that problem is correct
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "sum of angles,,(63 + 54 +x ) =180,,,cause x to be 63.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "With the base opposite vertex, it conflicts with law of sines, to have base smaller than sides.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "if base angles are 63,and sides are 10,,,sin 63 /10 = .0891..
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "the side opposite the 54 degree angle is ,,sin 54/x = .0891,,,or x=9.08
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Again,, please review the problem
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
