Find the measue of the obtuse angle possibility for the triangle with the following dimensions: B= 38 degrees, b= 21, c= 25.
A)47.13 degrees
B)132.87 degrees
C)114.26 degrees
D)145.19 degrees
--------------------
Use the Law of Sines:
Sin(C)/c = Sin(B)/b
Sin(C) = 25[sin(38)/21] = 0.73293...
Therefore C = 47.13 or 180-47.13 = 132.87
------------
I think your answer is "B".
