You can put this solution on YOUR website!
ok...first things first..the triangle is isosceles...2 equal angles...2 equal sides. Find one unknown side and the other is te same length.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use the sine rule when you know \"an angle and its opposite side length\"...\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "sine rule says \"%28a%2FsinA%29+=+%28b%2FsinB%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so...\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%2860%2Fsin50%29+=+%28b%2Fsin65%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Re-arranging gives...\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"b+=+%2860%2Asin65%29%2F%28sin50%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You work it out. Both unknown lengths are this length.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
