How do you solve for sides a and b of a triangle when you know the value of c?
1 answer:
Assuming you have some angle measures, you could use the Law of Sines to solve for the missing side lengths, which states that,
,
where a, b, and c correspond to the given sides you have, and A, B, and C represent the angles you have.
In this scenario, you would have to have the values for c (which we do), and have the angle measure of C. In addition, we would also need an angle measure that is either A or B.
Hope this helps a bit!
