Answer

$C = 39˚$ $a \approx 7.8$ m $b \approx 10.8$ m

Work Step by Step

1. Find the missing angle $C$ $C + 95 + 46 = 180$ $C + 141 = 180$ $C = 39˚$ 2. Find the missing length $a$ $\frac{a}{sin(46)} = \frac{6.8}{sin(39)}$ $a = \frac{6.8sin(46)}{sin(39)}$ by GDC / calculator $a = \frac{4.89...}{0.629...}$ $a = 7.772...$ m $a \approx 7.8$ m 3. Find the missing length $b$ $\frac{b}{sin(95)} = \frac{6.8}{sin(39)}$ $b = \frac{6.8sin(95)}{sin(39)}$ by GDC / calculator $b = \frac{6.77...}{0.629...}$ $b = 10.76...$ m $b \approx 10.8$ m
