Answer:


x=32°

Explanation:

The law of sines is a property of all triangles that relates the sides and angles of a triangle. This property states the following:


(sin(a))/(A)=(sin(b))/(B)=(sin(c))/(C)

Where side (A) is the side opposite angle (<a), side (B) is the side opposite angle (<b), and side (C) is the property opposite angle (<c).

Substitute each of the sides and respective angles into the formula, and solve for the unknown angle (<x). Please note that a triangle with two congruent sides (referred to as an isosceles triangle) has a property called the base angles theorem. This states that the angles opposite the congruent sides in an isosceles triangle are congruent. Therefore, there can be two (<x)'s in this triangle.


(sin(a))/(A)=(sin(b))/(B)=(sin(c))/(C)


(sin(x))/(10)=(sin(116))/(17)=(sin(x))/(10)

One can shorten the equation so it only holds the parts that will play a role in solving this equation,


(sin(x))/(10)=(sin(116))/(17)

Now take the cross product in this equation to simplify it further,


(sin(x))/(10)=(sin(116))/(17)


17(sin(x))=10(sin(116))

Inverse operations, solve this equation for (x),


17(sin(x))=10(sin(116))


sin(x)=(10(sin(116)))/(17)


x=sin^-^1((10(sin(116)))/(17))


x=31.91782...


x\approx32

Answer:

hello,

Explanation:

the triangle is isocele,

x+x+116=180

x=(180-116)/2

x= 32° (thirty-two , trente-deux in french)
