Complete Question

In ΔUVW, w = 9 cm, v = 22 cm and ∠V=136°. Find all possible values of ∠W, to the nearest 10th of a degree.

Answer:

16.5°

Explanation:

In ΔUVW, w = 9 cm, v = 22 cm and ∠V=136°. Find all possible values of ∠W, to the nearest 10th of a degree.

We solve using Sine rule formula

a/sin A = b/sin B

We are solving for angle W

∠V=136°

Hence:

22 /sin 136 = 9 /sin W

Cross Multiply

22 × sin W = sin 136 × 9

sin W = sin 136 × 9/22

W = arc sin [sin 136 × 9/2.2]

W = 16.50975°

W = 16.5°
