You can put this solution on YOUR website! The side opposite a 50 degree corner of a triangular plot of land is 300 feet long.
What is the angle measure of another corner if its opposite side is 250 feet long?
:
we can use the law of sines here, where A = the other angle, opposite 250 ft =
Cross multiply
300*sin(A) = 250 * sin(50)
300*sin(A) = 191.5
sin(A) =
sin(A) = .6383
use your calc; find sin^-1
A = 39.67 degrees
