Find b, given that a = 20, angle A = 30°, and angle B = 45° in triangle ABC.
Solution:
It is given that
a = 20, angle A = 30°, and angle B = 45°
We know that
Side b is opposite to angle B
By applying the law of sines
a/sin A = b/sin B
Substituting the values
20/sin 30° = b/sin 45°
By further calculation
20/(½) = b/(√2/2)
So we get
20 × √2/2 = b × ½
20√2/2 = b/2
By cross multiplication
2 × b = 2 × 20√2
2b = 40√2
Divide both sides by 2
b = 20√2
Therefore, the value of b is 20√2.
Find b, given that a = 20, angle A = 30°, and angle B = 45° in triangle ABC.
Summary:
The value of b, given that a = 20, angle A = 30°, and angle B = 45° in triangle ABC is 20√2.
