Chapter 8 - Application of Trigonometry - 8.1 The Law of Sines - 8.1 Exercises - Page 754: 18

Answer

$\angle a=37.2°$ $A=178.39m$ $C=244.33m$

Work Step by Step

Sum of internal angles of triangle is $180°$ then: $\angle a+\angle b+\angle c=180°$ $\angle a=180°-\angle b-\angle c$ $\angle a=180°-18.7°-124.1°$ $\angle a=37.2°$ By using the sine of laws we have: $$\frac{A}{\sin{a}}=\frac{B}{\sin{b}}=\frac{C}{\sin{c}}$$ Solving for $A$ we have: $$A=\frac{B\sin{a}}{\sin{b}}=\frac{94.6\sin{(37.2)°=}}{\sin{(18.7°)}}$$ $$A=178.39°$$ Solving for $C$ we have: $$C=\frac{B\sin{a}}{\sin{b}}=\frac{94.6\sin{(124.1°)}}{\sin{(18.7°)}}$$ $$C=244.33°$$
