Given:

There are given that triangle ABC.

Where,


\begin{gathered} AB=21in \\ BC=14in \\ \angle B=89^(\circ) \end{gathered}

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question:

We need to find angle C.

Then,

To find the angle C, first we need to find the value side AC.

So,

To find the side AC, we will use cosine function:

So,

let AC represents b.

So,

from the fomula of cosine:


b^2=a^2+c^2-2accosB

Then,


\begin{gathered} b^(2)=a^(2)+c^(2)-2accosB \\ b^2=14^2+21^2-2(14)(21)cos89 \end{gathered}

Then,


\begin{gathered} b^2=14^2+21^2-2(14)(21)cos89 \\ b^2=196+441-588(0.017) \\ b^2=196+441-9.99 \\ b^2=627.01 \\ b=25 \end{gathered}

Now,

We need to use sine rule to find the angle C:

So,

From the sine rule:


(sinB)/(b)=(sinC)/(c)

So,


\begin{gathered} (s\imaginaryI nB)/(b)=(s\imaginaryI nC)/(c) \\ (s\imaginaryI n89)/(25)=(s\imaginaryI nC)/(21) \\ 25* sinC=21* sin89 \\ sinC=(21sin89)/(25) \end{gathered}

Then,


\begin{gathered} s\imaginaryI nC=(21s\imaginaryI n89)/(25) \\ s\imaginaryI nC=(21(0.9))/(25) \\ sinC=(18.9)/(25) \\ sinC=0.75 \\ C=sin^(-1)(0.8) \end{gathered}

Then,


\begin{gathered} C=sin^(-1)(0.8) \\ C=53.13^(\circ) \end{gathered}

Final answer:

Hence, the value of measure angle C is shown below:


C=53.13^{\operatorname{\circ}}
