Answer:
The basic answer to your question is that we have to start somewhere.
The essence of mathematics (in the sense the Greeks introduced to the
world) is to take a small set of fundamental "facts," called
postulates or axioms, and build up from them a full understanding of
the objects you are dealing with (whether numbers, shapes, or
something else entirely) using only logical reasoning such that if
anyone accepts the postulates, then they must agree with you on the
rest.
It can sometimes be proven.
16.26.
3^2(3.14)
28.26
3(4)
12
28.26-12=16.26
(If I'm wrong please correct me I haven't done this in two years but I believe this is correct) I hope it helped anyway!
Using the law of sins:
side a / sin (angle A) = side b / sin(Angle B)
Side a is opposite angle A, so from the picture we know side a = 50, angle A is 58 degrees and angle B is 48 degrees.
replace those values in the formula we get:
50 / sin(58) = b/ sin(48)
so now we can cross multiply the 2 fractions to get:
50 * sin(48) = b*sin(58)
to get b by itself, divide both sides by sin(58) to get:
b = (50*sin(48)) / sin(58)
b = 43.82
You may need to round the answer as needed.
Try and copy and past and the answer should pop up
