Question

Use the law of cosines to find the length of side C.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\text{D. 36.64}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Sines is given by $\frac{a}{\sin A}=\frac{b}{\sin B}=\frac{c}{\sin C}$ and works for any triangle.

Therefore, we have the proportion:

$\frac{c}{\sin 41.5^{\circ}}=\frac{37}{\sin 42^{\circ}},\\\\c=\frac{37\sin 41.5^{\circ}}{\sin 42^{\circ}}=36.6399945706\approx \boxed{36.64}$
