Solve the triangle. A = 33°, a = 19, b = 14
Solution:
Given A = 33°, a = 19, b = 14
According to the law of sines, we have sinA/a = sinB/b = sinC/c
Where A,B,C are angles and a, b, c are sides
Consider first two fractions to find B
Sin33° /19 = sinB / 14
sinB/14 = 0.544/19 = 0.02
sinB = 0.02(14) = 0.40
B= sin-1(0.40)
B= 23.57°
We know that the sum of all angles in a triangle is equal to 180°.
A + B + C = 180°
33° + 23.57° + C = 180°
C = 180° - 56.57
C = 123.43°
From sinA/a = sinC/c,we have sin33°/19 = sin123.43°/c,
0.83/c = 0.544/19 = 0.028
c = 0.83/0.028
c = 29.64
Hence, A = 33°, B = 23.57°, C = 123.43°
a = 19, b = 14, c = 29.64
Solve the triangle. A = 33°, a = 19, b = 14
Summary:
By solving the triangle, A = 33°, B = 23.57°, C = 123.43°, a = 19, b = 14, c = 29.64
