What is the sine of C if triangle ABC has b = 3, c = 7, and angle B = 15°?
Solution:
Sine Law should be used to solve this problem.
It can be represented using the triangle.
a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C
The values given are b = 3, c = 7, and angle B = 15°
Substituting the values in the equation
3/sin 15° = 7/sin C
By cross multiplication
3 sin C = 7 sin 15°
3 sin C = 7 × 0.2588190451
So we get, 3 sin C = 1.811733316
sin C = 1.811733316 ÷ 3
sin C = 0.6039111053
Therefore, the sine of C if triangle ABC has b = 3, c = 7, and angle B = 15° is 0.6039111053.
What is the sine of C if triangle ABC has b = 3, c = 7, and angle B = 15°?
Summary:
The sine of C if triangle ABC has b = 3, c = 7, and angle B = 15° is 0.6039111053.
