Question

For each triangle shown below, determine whether you would use the Law of Sines or Law of Cosines to find angle x. Then find angle x to the nearest tenth.
68.3 by The Law of Cosines (SSS)

22.9 by The Law of Cosines (SAS)

10.7 by The Law of Sines (SAS)

8.8 by The Law of Sines (SSA)

Answer 1

For this case using the law of the sine we have the following mathematical relationship:
 x / sine (21) = 27 / sine (65)
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (27 / sine (65)) * (sine (21))
 x = 10.68 units
 Rounding off we have:
 x = 10.7 units
