Two questions testing the application of the Sine Rule when given two sides and an angle. In this question, the triangle is always acute and one of the given side lengths is opposite the given angle.

Suppose that $\\Delta ABC$ is a triangle with all interior angles less than $90^{\\circ}$. Sides and angles are labelled as shown in the diagram below (not to scale).

\n

Given the following angle and two side lengths, use the Sine Rule to determine the other side length and two angles. Write down the side length as a whole number and the angles correct to the nearest degree.

", "advice": "

a) We use the Sine Rule to find $B$: $\\dfrac{a}{\\sin A}=\\dfrac{b}{\\sin B}$.

\n

Thus $\\sin B=\\dfrac{b \\sin A}{a}=\\var{b0*s0/a0}$.

\n

To find $B$ we need to calculate $\\sin^{-1} (\\var{b0*s0/a0})=\\var{bb01d}^{\\circ}$ (correct to the nearest degree).

\n

Since $A+B+C=180^{\\circ}$, we calculate $C=180^{\\circ}-A-B=\\var{CC21d}^{\\circ}$.

\n

We use the Sine Rule to find $c$: $\\dfrac{a}{\\sin A}=\\dfrac{c}{\\sin C}$.

\n

Thus $c=\\dfrac{a \\sin C}{\\sin A}=\\var{c0}$ (correct to the nearest integer).
