The given measurements may or may not determine a triangle. If not, then state that no triangle is formed. If a triangle is form

ed, then use the Law of Sines to solve the triangle, if it is possible, or state that the Law of Sines cannot be used. B = 137°, c = 9, b = 14

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 ;
                
 (sin 137) / 14 = (sin C) / 9  ;

 (0.681998360062) / 14 = 0.0487141685758571 = (sin C) / 9  ;
______________________________________________________

sin C = (0.0487141685758571) * (9) ;

sin C =  0.4384275171827139 ;

        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) = 

                   (sin 17) / (0.0487141685758571) ;
_________________________________________________________
                   a =  (sin 17) / (0.0487141685758571) ;

                      = (0.292371704723) / (0.0487141685758571) ;

                   a = 6.0017796314787227112 ;  round to "6" .

Two base angles of an isosceles triangle measure (3x + 2) and (5x – 30) degrees. How many degrees are in the third angle of the
joja [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the base angle of an isosceles triangle is equal hence;

3x+2 = 5x-30

3x - 5x = -30-2

-2x = -32

x = -32/-2

x = 16

Hence one of the base angle = 3(16)+2 = 50degrees

The sum of angle in the triangle is 180, hence

50+50+y = 180

100 + y = 180

y = 80 degrees

Hence the third angle is 80 degrees

Fofino [41]
Omg ur keeping me awake with these notifications!! LOL :-D. JK

Arc RQ is a [minor arc] only because it is less than half the circle, which is 180 [PQ]

** remember that 180° always = half a circle
