Question

If c= what is the value of a?

Answer 1

a= 17√3/ 2 or a≈14.72

Explanation:

c = 17 and is the side opposite to the angle C

c=AB =17

a= BC because is the side opposite to angle A

sin 60° = opp./hyp = BC / AB = BC/17

sin 60° = BC /17 multiply both sides by 17

BC = 17* sin 60 = 17√3/2 ≈14.72
