Question 731663: In the following exercise, solve the triangle for the remaining sides and angles.
A=46 degrees
a=
B=
b=4
C=
c=8
Seeing that the triangle is SAS, I tried using the law of cosines to find a.
After getting 35.54 (which seems pretty high), I used the law of sines to find the remaining two angles.

In the following exercise, solve the triangle for the remaining sides and angles.
A=46 degrees
a=
B=
b=4
C=
c=8
Seeing that the triangle is SAS, I tried using the law of cosines to find a.
After getting 35.54 (which seems pretty high), I used the law of sines to find the remaining two angles.
-----------
It is high. 4, 8 & 35.54 can't make a triangle.
-----------
a%5E2+=+b%5E2+%2B+c%5E2+-+2bc%2Acos%2846%29+=+16+%2B+64+-+32%2Acos%2846%29
a =~ 10.111
-------------
Use the Sine Law from there.
