Solve the triangle. a = 10, b = 23, C = 95°
Solution:
Given a = 10, b = 23, C = 95°
According to the law of cosines, we have c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab cos(B)

c2 = 102 + 232 - 2(10)(23) cos(95)
c2 = 100 + 529 - 460(-0.087)
c2 = 629 + 40.06
c2 = 669.06
c= √(669.06) = 25.86
We have the law of sines as follows:
sinA/a = sinC/c
sinA/10 = sin95/ 25.86
sinA = 0.385
A = sin-1(0.385)
A = 22.64°
We know that the sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°
A + B + C = 180°
22.643° + B + 95° = 180°
B = 180°- 117.64°
B = 62.35°
Hence, A = 22.64°, B = 62.35°, C = 95°
a = 10,b = 23, c = 25.86
Solve the triangle. a = 10, b = 23, C = 95°
Summary:
By solving triangle, we get A = 22.64°, B = 62.35°, C = 95°, a = 10,b = 23, c = 25.86
