Answer 1

Given

There is a triangle with sides a, b, and c and angles A, B, and C.

And,

c = 9 cm

A = 22°

C = 13°

To find:

The value of a.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

There is a triangle with sides a, b, and c and angles A, B, and C.

And,

c = 9 cm

A = 22°

C = 13°

That implies,

By using sine law,

`\begin{gathered} (\sin C)/(c)=(\sin A)/(a) \\ \Rightarrow(\sin13\degree)/(9)=(\sin22\degree)/(a) \\ \Rightarrow a=(9*\sin22\degree)/(\sin13\degree) \\ \Rightarrow a=14.9875 \\ \Rightarrow a=15cm \end{gathered}`

Hence, the value of a is 15cm.
