Question

Two triangles can be formed with the given information. Use the Law of Sines to solve the triangles. A = 56°, a = 12, b = 14

Answer 1

we know that
case 1)
Applying the law of sines
a/Sin A=b/Sin B
A=56°
a=12
b=14
so
a*Sin B=b*Sin A----> Sin B=b*Sin A/a---> Sin B=14*Sin 56°/12
Sin B=0.9672
B=arc sin (0.9672)------> B=75.29°-----> B=75.3°

find angle C
A+B+C=180°-----> C=180-(A+B)----> C=180-(56+75.3)----> C=48.7°

find c
a/Sin A=c/Sin C----> c=a*Sin C/Sin A----> c=12*Sin 48.7°/Sin 56°)
c=10.87-----> c=10.9

the answer Part 1)
the dimensions of the triangle N 1
are
a=12 A=56°
b=14 B=75.3°
c=10.9 C=48.7°

case 2)
A=56°
a=12
b=14
B=180-75.3----> B=104.7°

find angle C
A+B+C=180°-----> C=180-(A+B)----> C=180-(56+104.7)----> C=19.3°

find c
a/Sin A=c/Sin C----> c=a*Sin C/Sin A----> c=12*Sin 19.3°/Sin 56°)
c=4.78-----> c=4.8

the answer Part 2)
the dimensions of the triangle N 2
are
a=12 A=56°
b=14 B=104.7°
c=4.8 C=19.3°
