Yes; a triangle is formed: <span>______________________________________________________</span> m∡A = 17° ; m∡B = 137° (given) ; m∡C = 26° ; a = 6 ; b = 14 (given) ; c = 9 (given) . ______________________________________________________ Explanation: ______________________________________________________ Note:
The law of sines:
(sin A) / a = (sin B) / b = (sin C) / c ; ______________________________________________________ Given: ______________________________________________________ B = 137 ; c = 9 ; b =14 ; ______________________________________________________ (sin B) / b = (sin C) / c ;
Take the "arc sin" of each side of the equation; to isolate "C" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "C" ;
arc sin (C) = arc sin ( 0.4384275171827139) ;
C = 26.003593520741 ; round to 26.
If all angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees: then:
A + B + C = 180 ;
A + 137 + 26 = 180 ;
A + 163 = 180 ;
Subtract "163" from each side of the equation; to isolate "A" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "A" ;
A + 163 − 163 = 180 − 163 ;
A = 17 ;
Now, to solve for "a" ;
(sin A) / a = (sin B)/ b ;
(sin 17) / a = 0.0487141685758571 ;
(0.0487141685758571) a = (sin 17) ;
Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by: "(0.0487141685758571)" ; ______________________________________________________ to isolate "a" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "a" ; ______________________________________________________ [(0.0487141685758571)a ] / (0.0487141685758571) =
