Capitolo 8, Problema 23

Solve each triangle ABC.


A = 39.70°, C = 30.35°, b = 39.74 m

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
First, find the measure of angle B using the fact that the sum of the angles in any triangle is 180°. Use the formula: \(B = 180^\circ - A - C\).
Next, use the Law of Sines to find the lengths of sides a and c. The Law of Sines states: \(\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}\).
Calculate side a by rearranging the Law of Sines: \(a = b \times \frac{\sin A}{\sin B}\).
Calculate side c similarly: \(c = b \times \frac{\sin C}{\sin B}\).
After finding all sides and angles, verify your answers by checking that the triangle's sides and angles satisfy the triangle inequality and angle sum properties.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Triangle Angle Sum Theorem

This theorem states that the sum of the interior angles in any triangle is always 180°. Knowing two angles allows you to find the third by subtracting their sum from 180°, which is essential for solving the triangle.

Law of Sines

The Law of Sines relates the ratios of the lengths of sides of a triangle to the sines of their opposite angles. It is expressed as (a/sin A) = (b/sin B) = (c/sin C), and is used to find unknown sides or angles when given partial information.
