:
Draw this triangle, ABC, label the sides opposite each angle a,b,c
A = 28 degrees
C = 48 degrees
Find B
180 - 28 - 48 = 104 degrees
side b = 15.5 m
side c = the dist between A & B
:
Use the law of sines =
Using the given values = =
Cross multiply
.970c = 15.5 * .743
.970c = ll.512
c =
c = 11.87 m from A to B
