In triangle abc angle a = 40◦, side b = 11 and side c = 5. use the cosine rule to find the length of side a, to two decimal plac
es. without using the cosine rule again, find the remaining angles b and c, giving your answers to the nearest degree.
1 answer:
A^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos a
= 11^2 + 5^2 - 2*5*11 cos 40
= 7.86 to 2 DP's
to find the remaining angles use the sine rule:-
a / sin A = b / sin B so
7.857/ sin 40 = 11 / sin B
sin B = 11 sin40 / 7.857 = 0.8999
<B = 64 degrees
so <C = 180 - 64-40 = 76 degrees
