Solve the triangle: b=200, c=250, A=75 degrees.
1 answer:
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the law of sines to choose the correct answer:
b/c = sin(B)/sin(C) ≈ 0.8
For the first answer choice,
sin(44.3)/sin(60.7) ≈ 0.8009 . . . . . . as close as you expect to get
____
The second answer choice has the wrong ratio of sines.
The third answer choice has B > C, which it cannot be since b < c.
_____
The law of cosines can be used to find "a":
a^2 = b^2 + c^2 -2bc·cos(A) = 102500-100000cos(75°) ≈ 76,618
a ≈ √76618 ≈ 276.8 . . . . . . matches the first answer choice

In this question, we have to find the complement and supplement of the given angles .
Complementary angles are those angles whose sum is 90 degree and supplementary angles are those angles whose sum is 180 degree.
So to find the complement and supplement angles, we need to subtract the given angles from pi/2 and pi respectively .
