Answer: Mrs.Buller collects a 500-ml sample of seawater for her chemistry class, and it has 1.94% of chlorine, we have to determine the amount of chlorine in the sample:
Therefore the chlorine content in 500ml of water is 9.7ml.
1. Answer (D). By the law of sines, we have in any
2. Answer (C). The law of cosines, accepts up to three sides and an angle as an input.
3. Answer (D). Although this triangle is right, we are not given enough information to uniquely determine its sides and angles - here, we need either one more side or one more angle.
4. Answer (D). Don't get tripped up by answer choice (C) - this is just a rearrangement of the statement of the law of cosines. In choice (D), the signs of and
are reversed.
5. Answer (B). By the law of sines, we have Solving gives
Note that this is the <em>ambiguous (SSA) case</em> of the law of sines, where the given measures could specify one triangle, two triangles, or none at all!
6. Answer (A). Since we know all three sides and none of the angles, starting with the law of sines will not help, so we begin with the law of cosines to find one angle; from there, we can use the law of sines to find the remaining angles.
First notice that the triangle with sides 
and the triangle with sides 
are similar. This is true because the angle between sides 
in the smaller triangle is clearly 
, while the angle between sides 
in the larger triangle is clearly 
. So the triangles are similar with sides corresponding to 
, respectively.
Now both triangles are
, which means there's a convenient ratio between its sides. If the length of the shortest leg is 
, then the length of the longer leg is 
and the hypotenuse has length 
.
Since
is the shortest leg in the larger triangle, it follows that 
, so 
Now both triangles are
Since
