Two teams are pulling a heavy chest, located at point X. The teams are 4.6 meters away from each other. Team A is 2.4 meters awa
y from the chest, and Team B is 3.2 meters away. Their ropes are attached at an angle of 110°. Law of sines: Which equation can be used to solve for angle A?
Lets see! We need to use the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) to check. So.. 15^2+ 17^2 = 19^2 225+ 289= 361 Hm 225 and 289 do NOT equal 361 therefore it is NOT a right triangle.
