Answer:

B = 48.7°

C = 61.3°

b = 12

Explanation:

Given:

A = 70°

a = 15

c = 14

Required:

B, C, and b

Solution:

✔️Using the law of sines, let's find C:

Sin C/c = Sin A/a

Plug in the values

Sin C/14 = Sin 70/15

Cross multiply

Sin C × 15 = Sin 70 × 14

Divide both sides by 15

Sin C = (Sin 70 × 14)/15

Sin C = 0.8770

C = Sin^{-1}(0.8770)

C = 61.282566° = 61.3° (nearest tenth)

✔️Find B:

B = 180 - (70 + 61.3) (sum of triangle)

B = 48.7°

✔️Find b using the law of sines:

b/sinB = a/sinA

Plug in the values

b/sin 48.7 = 15/sin 70

Cross multiply

b*sin 70 = 15*sin 48.7

Divide both sides by sin 48.7

b = (15*sin 48.7)/sin 70

b = 11.9921789

b = 12.0 (nearest tenth)
