The Law of Sines produces an ambiguous angle result. This means that there are  

2

angles that will correctly solve the equation. For the first triangle, use the first possible angle value.

Solve for the first triangle.

The law of sines is based on the proportionality of sides and angles in triangles. The law states that for the angles of a non-right triangle, each angle of the triangle has the same ratio of angle measure to sine value.

For the second triangle, use the second possible angle value.

Solve for the second triangle.

The law of sines is based on the proportionality of sides and angles in triangles. The law states that for the angles of a non-right triangle, each angle of the triangle has the same ratio of angle measure to sine value.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The average is the total of the scores divided by 5.  

128 x 5 Gives us the total scores of 640.  I know that one bowler had a score of 160.  I will subtract that from the total of 640.  640-160 = 480.  Since the 4 bowlers left, all had the same score, I will divide 480 by 4 to get 120
