Answer: B = 43.9 , b = 18 71 , c = 8.45

Explanation:

from the law of sine,

a b c

--------- = ---------- = ----------- a =25.3, C = 18.2 degree, A = 110.8 deg.

Sine A Sine B Sine C

to get the value of c,

a c

--------- = -----------

Sine A Sine C,

25.3 c

----------- = -------------

Sine 110.8 Sine 18.2

Now cross multiply to get the value of c

c x Sine 110.8 = 25.3 x Sine 18.2

Therefore c = 25.3 x Sine 18.2

------------------------

Sine 110.8

checking for Sine 18.2 in your log tables/calculators , ie, sine 18 under 2, = 0.3123 and sine 110.8 = 0.9348

c = 25.3 x 0.3123

--------------------

0.9348

= 8.45.

To get angle B, sum total of a triangle is supplementary ie, 180 degree.

meaning that A + B + C = 180

Therefore, angle B = 180 - ( 110.8 + 25.3)

= 180 - 136.1

= 43.9

Now to find b,

b c

------------- = ------------

Sine B Sine C

b 8.45

--------- = ------------

Sine 43.9 Sine 18.2

b x sine 18.2 = 8.45 x Sine 43.9

b = 8.45 x 0.6934

--------------------

0. 3123

b = 18.708

= 18.71.

The final Answer = B = 43.9, b = 18.71, c = 8.45
