This part of trig has a short menu:
Law of Cosines. Three ways to write it, one is
Law of Sines:
Triangle angles:
and two special cases of the Law of Cosines, the Pythagorean Theorem
and the Collinear Points Theorem:
Here we choose Triangle Angles followed by Law of Sines:
A = 180 - 105 -15 = 60 degrees
Answer: 1.8 cm
When I was a student we'd be expected to get exactly and get
But that was before online homework.
