An oblique triangle has A=68 degrees, B= 79 degrees, and b= 8.0 ft. Determine the length of side c.

LAW OF SINES
For any triangle

The sum of all angles is

, and we will find third angle

sin

or
then

2. in an oblique triangle, find the side b if c =12, A = 50 degree 12', and B = 72 degree 58'
-------------------------If A = 50 deg 12'
and B = 72 deg 58'
then C = 180 - (A+B)
= 180 - (123 10')
--= 56 50'
---Law of Sines:
b /sin(B) = c/sin(C)

b = sin(B)[c/sin(C)
b = sin(73.97)[12/sin(56.83)
b = 13.78

3. If a triangle has an angle A of 50 degrees, B at 65 degrees, and a= 12, what is the measures of side c and b?
-----------------Use the Law of Sines:
b/sin(65) = 12/sin(50)
--b = sin(65)[12/sin(50)]
--b = 14.197
===================
Angle C = 180-(50+65) = 75 degrees
---c/sin(75) = 12/sin(50)
c = sin(75)
c = 15.13

4. find angle A of the oblique triangle with sides a=13, b=14, and c=15
If you need to find an angle when three sides of an oblique triangle are known, use the law of cosines. The
equation is:

2
2
a = b + c - 2bc cos A
Solve for A

2
2
2bc cos A = b + c - a

cos A = (b + c - a )/(2bc)

A = cos [(b + c - a )/(2bc)]

A = cos [(14 + 15 - 13 )/(2*14*15)]
A = 53.13

5. Calculate the distance from point A to point B if Angle A= 61deg28 ; Angle C= 54deg53 and
distance from AC = 200 meters

Assume that AC= side b

B = 180 (A+C)
= 180 (6128 + 5453)
= 180 (11621)
B = 63d39
LAW OF SINES:
a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sinC
then: b/sinB = c/sin C
200/sin 6339 = c/sin 5153
Sin 5453(200/sin 6328) = c
c = 182.565 m

9. A man wishes to measure the distance across the Santo Tomas River. He finds that C = 112 53 and A = 31 6
and b = 347.6 m. Find the required distance to reach across the river.

B = 180 (A+C)
180 (316 + 11253)
B = 361
LAW OF SINE:
a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
in a/sinA = b/sin B
a/sin 316 = 347.6/sin 361
a = (591.136)(sin 316)
a = 305.341 m

10. In a triangle ABC, a = 700 feet, B = 73 48', and C = 37 21'. If M is the middle point of BC find the length of AM
Yung drawing dito!
Assuming that:
AM = g ; x = 350 ft. and y = 350 ft.
A = 180 (B+C)
180 (7348 + 3721)
A = 6851
For side c: Using LAW OF SINE
a/sin A = c/sin C
700/sin 6851 = c/sin 3721
c = (700/6851) sin 3721
c = 455.35 ft
yung isa pang drawing ditto!
Assuming: b = g and a = y = 350 ft. (applying COSINE LAW)
b2 = a2+c2 2ac CosB
-> [(350)2 + (455.35)2] 2(350)(455.35)[Cos 7348]
-> 329,844.53 318,745.7(0.28)
Sq. rt b2 = sq.rt. 240,595.73
b = 490.51ft
therefore AM = g = b
length of AM = 490.51 ft
