Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The above triangle
Required
Solve for AB in terms of a, b and angle C
Considering right angled triangle BOC where O is the point between b-x and x
From BOC, we have that:
Make h the subject:
Also, in BOC (Using Pythagoras)
Make the subject
Substitute for h
becomes
Factorize
In trigonometry:
So, we have that:
Take square roots of both sides
In triangle BOA, applying Pythagoras theorem, we have that:
Open bracket
Substitute and
in
Open Bracket
Reorder
Factorize:
In trigonometry:
So, we have that:
Take square roots of both sides
