Question

In ΔPQR, p = 7.6 inches, r = 3.5 inches and ∠R=160°. Find all possible values of ∠P, to the nearest 10th of a degree.

Answer 1

Answer:

There is no possible value for P

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔPQR, p = 7.6 inches, r = 3.5 inches and ∠R=160°. Find all possible values of ∠P, to the nearest 10th of a degree

We solve using the law of sines

p/sin P = r/sin R

7.6/sin P = 3.5/sin 160

Cross Multiply

sin P × 3.5 = 7.6 × sin 160

sin P = 7.6 × sin 160/3.5

P = arc sin (7.6 × sin 160/3.5)

There is no possible value for P
