Answer:

C = 68.667°

a = 123.31 yd.

c = 114.90 yd.

Explanation:

The missing image for the question is attached to this solution.

In the missing image, a triangle AB is given with angles A and B given to be 88° 35' and 22° 45' respectively

We are them told to find angle C and side a and c given that side b = 47.7 yd.

A = 88° 35' = 88° + (35/60)° = 88.583°

B = 22° 45' = 22° + (45/60)° = 22.75°

The sum of angles in a triangle = 180°

A + B + C = 180°

C = 180° - (A + B) = 180° - (88.583° + 22.75°) = 68.667°

The sine law is given as

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

Using the first two terms of the sine law

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

a = ?

A = 88.583°

b = 47.7 yd.

B = 22.75°

(a/sin 88.583°) = (47.7/sin 22.75°)

a = (47.7 × sin 88.583°) ÷ sin 22.75°

a = 123.31 yd.

Using the last two terms of the sine law

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

b = 47.7 yd.

B = 22.75°

c = ?

C = 68.667°

(47.7/sin 22.75°) = (c/sin 68.667°)

c = (47.7 × sin 68.667°) ÷ sin 22.75°

c = 114.90 yd.

Hope this Helps!!!
