Answer:
a=22.6549
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculated based on 2 given angles and 1 given side.
∠C = 180° - A - B = 0.99484 rad = 57°
a = c·sin(A)/sin(C) = 22.6549
b = c·sin(B)/sin(C) = 12.33874
Given
we have
Squaring both sides, we have
And finally
Note that, when we square both sides, we have to assume that
because we're assuming that this fraction equals a square root, which is positive.
So, if that fraction is positive you'll actually have roots: choose
and you'll have
Which is a valid solution. If, instead, the fraction is negative, you'll have extraneous roots: choose
and you'll have
Squaring both sides (and here's the mistake!!) you'd have
which is not a solution for the equation, if we plug it in we have
Which is clearly false
