Answer:

c = 45.33, C =97°, a = 40, A = 61.15° , B = 21.85°, b = 17

Explanation:

Given that:

C = 97°, a = 40 and b = 17.

We have angle C, we need to find the side the side c opposite to the angle C. we have side a, we need to find the angle A opposite to side a. we have side b, we need to find the angle B opposite to side b.

Using cosine rule:

c² = a² + b² - 2ab × cos(C)

c² = 40² + 17² - 2(40)(17)cos(97)

c² = 2054.74

c = 45.33

Also using sine rule:


(a)/(sin(A)) =(c)/(sin(C)) \\(40)/(sin(A))=(45.33)/(sin(97)) \\sin(A)=(sin(97))40)/(45.33)=0.876\\A=sin^(-1)(0.876)=61.15^0

Also:


(b)/(sin(B)) =(c)/(sin(C)) \\(17)/(sin(B))=(45.33)/(sin(97)) \\sin(B)=(sin(97))17)/(45.33)=0.3722\\B=sin^(-1)(0.3722)=21.85^0

c = 45.33, C =97°, a = 40, A = 61.15° , B = 21.85°, b = 17
