Answer:
B) a = 6.7, B = 36°, C = 49°
Step-by-step explanation:
Fill in the numbers in the Law of Cosines formula to find the value of "a".
a² = b² + c² -2bc·cos(A)
a² = 4² +5² -2(4)(5)cos(95°) ≈ 44.4862
a ≈ √44.4862 ≈ 6.66980
Now, the law of sines is used to find one of the remaining angles. The larger angle will be found from ...
sin(C)/c = sin(A)/a
sin(C) = (c/a)sin(A)
C = arcsin(5/6.6698×sin(95°)) ≈ 48.31°
The third angle is ...
B = 180° -A -C = 180° -95° -48.31° = 36.69°
The closest match to a = 6.7, B = 37°, C = 48° is answer choice B.
