Problems from Solution of triangles

Solve the following triangle, knowing that the side a=6m and that two angles that are on this side are B=45 and C=105.

See development and solution

Development:

Let's identify the information of the problem using the following figure:

Let's observe that we know one side and two angles. Let's apply the sine theorem: asin(A)=bsin(B)=csin(C)

We see, that it would be necessary to know the angle A, but this is not a problem, since A=180BC=18045105=30 Thus: b=asin(B)sin(A)=asin(45)sin(30)=62212=62 m

Now we already know 2 sides and 2 angles. We can then apply the sine or the cosine theorem. We are going to apply again the sine one. So we have: c=asin(C)sin(A)=6sin(105)sin(30)=614(6+2)12=3(6+2) m

Solution:

A=30

b=62 m

b=3(6+2) m
