a) We use the Sine Rule to find $b$: $\\dfrac{a}{\\sin A}=\\dfrac{b}{\\sin B}$. Thus $b=\\dfrac{a \\sin B}{\\sin A}=\\dfrac{\\var{a0}* \\var{t0}}{\\var{s0}}=\\var{a0*t0/s0}$. The closest integer is then $\\var{b0}$.

\n

Since $A+B+C=\\pi$, we calculate $C=\\pi-A-B=\\var{CC1}$. To 3dp, this gives $\\var{CC2}$.

\n

We use the Sine Rule to find $c$: $\\dfrac{a}{\\sin A}=\\dfrac{c}{\\sin C}$. Thus $c=\\dfrac{a \\sin C}{\\sin A}=\\dfrac{\\var{a0}* \\var{u2}}{\\var{s0}}=\\var{a0*u2/s0}$. The closest integer is then $\\var{c0}$. Note that this solution uses the 3dp value of $C$; the answer using $\\var{CC1}$ would give a slightly different long decimal value of $c$, but the integer value would be the same.

\n

b) We use the Sine Rule to find $b$: $\\dfrac{b}{\\sin B}=\\dfrac{c}{\\sin C}$. Thus $b=\\dfrac{c \\sin B}{\\sin C}=\\dfrac{\\var{c3}* \\var{t3}}{\\var{u3}}=\\var{c3*t3/u3}$. The closest integer is then $\\var{b3}$.

\n

Since $A+B+C=\\pi$, we calculate $A=\\pi-B-C=\\var{AA4}$. To 3dp, this gives $\\var{AA5}$.

\n

We use the Sine Rule to find $a$: $\\dfrac{a}{\\sin A}=\\dfrac{c}{\\sin C}$. Thus $a=\\dfrac{c \\sin A}{\\sin C}=\\dfrac{\\var{c3}* \\var{s5}}{\\var{u3}}=\\var{c3*s5/u3}$. The closest integer is then $\\var{a3}$. Note that this solution uses the 3dp value of $A$; the answer using $\\var{AA4}$ would give a slightly different long decimal value of $a$, but the integer value would be the same.

Suppose that $\\Delta ABC$ is a triangle with all interior angles $< \\dfrac{\\pi}{2}$ (in other words, an acute triangle). Here all angles are expressed in radians. Suppose also that standard naming conventions are used (i.e. the sides opposite angles A,B and C are called a,b and c respectively).

Given the following two angles and a side length, determine the other two side lengths and the angle. Write down the side lengths as whole numbers and the angle (in radians) as a decimal to 3dp.
