a ≈ 5.2, B ≈ 50°, C ≈ 95°
Solution:
Given data:
A = 35°, b = 7, c = 9
Using cosine law,
Taking square root on both sides.
a ≈ 5.2
Using sine law,
Multiply by 7 on both sides.
Switch the sides.
Sin B = 0.772
B ≈ 50°
Sum of all the angles of a triangle = 180°
A + B + C = 180°
35° + 50° + C = 180°
85° + C = 180°
C = 180° - 85°
C = 95°
Hence a ≈ 5.2, B ≈ 50°, C ≈ 95°.
The cistern is losing approximately 3.963 gallons of water per hour.
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
A cistern is leaking 0.25 liters of water per minute.
<u>We know, 1 gallon = 3.785 liters</u>
So, 0.25 liters = gallons
That means, the cistern is losing 0.06605....gallons of water per minute.
So, the amount of water losing in 1 hour or 60 minutes <em>(Approximately)</em>
