Answer 1

Answer:

98.1km²

Step-by-step explanation:

The name of the Triangle in this question is: WXV

In the question, we have:

Angle W = ? Unknown

Angle X = 119°

Angle V = 34°

Side w =?

Side x = 26km

Side v = ?

Step 1

We have to find the missing third angle = Angle W

Sum of angles in a triangle = 180°

= Angle W = 180° - (119 + 34)°

= 180° - 153°

Angle W = 27°

Step 2

Find the sides w and v using the sine rule

Sine rule =

a/ sin A = b/ Sin B

Hence for triangle WXV

w/ sin W = x/ sin X = v/ sin V

We have the following values

Angle W = 27°

Angle X = 119°

Angle V = 34°

We are given side x = 26km

a) Finding side w

w/ sin W= x/ sin X

w/sin 27 = 26/sin 119

Cross Multiply

sin 27 × 26 = w × sin 119

w = sin 27 × 26/sin 119

w = 13.49587km

w = 13.5km

b) Finding side v

x / sin X= v/ sin V

26/ sin 119 = v/sin 34

Cross Multiply

sin 119 × v = 26 × sin 34

v = sin 34 × 26/sin 119

v = 16.62324km

v = 16.62km

Step 3

Detemine the area of triangle WXV

We make use heron formula

= √s(s - w) (s - x) (s - v)

Where s = w + x + v/ 2

s = (13.5 + 26 + 16.62)/2

s = 56.12/2

s = 28.06

Area of the triangle = √28.06× (28.06 - 13.5) × (28.06 - 26 ) × (28.06 - 16.62)

Area of the triangle = √9628.137559

Area of the triangle = 98.123073530337km²

Approximately to the nearest tenth =98.1km²
