Answer:
12 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
The double dashes are both the same number. Since the base is 4cm and they have to be two of the same number, the double dashes are each 2cm long. Meanwhile, the height is 2cm, and the single dashes are two of the same numbers (but not 2cm, because that's what the double dashes are). So, each dash must be 1cm long. When you add them up:

Answer:
- There are two solutions:
- B = 58.7°, C = 82.3°, c = 6.6 cm
- B = 121.3°, C = 19.7°, c = 2.2 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
You are given a side and its opposite angle (a, A), so the Law of Sines can be used to solve the triangle. The side given is the shorter of the two given sides, so it is likely there are two solutions. (If the given side is the longer of the two, there will always be only one solution.)
The Law of Sines tells you ...
a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)
Of course, the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, so once you find angle B, you can use that fact to find angle C, thus side c.
The solution process finds angle B first:
B = arcsin(b/a·sin(A)) . . . . . . or the supplement of this value
then angle C:
C = 180° -A -B = 141° -B
finally, side c:
c = a·sin(C)/sin(A)

A triangle solver application for phone or tablet (or the one on your graphing calculator) can solve the triangle for you, or you can implement the above formulas in a spreadsheet (or even do them by hand). Of course, you need to pay attention to whether the functions involved give or take <em>radians</em> instead of <em>degrees</em>.
