Chapter 8: Q. 30 (page 528)

Two sides and an angle are given. Determine whether the given information results in one triangle, two triangles, or no triangle at all. Solve each triangle that results $b = 2, c = 3, B = 40 掳$ .

Short Answer

With the given measurements two triangles are possible.

$F o r 鈻� A_{1} B C_{1,} a_{1} = 2.8, b = 2, c = 3, A_{1} = 65.41 掳, B = 40 掳, C_{1} = 74.59 掳 F o r 鈻� A_{2} B C_{2}, a_{2} = 1.8, b = 2, c = 3, A_{2} = 34.59 掳, B = 40 掳, C_{2} = 105.41 掳$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information

$b = 2, c = 3, B = 40 掳$

For a triangle with sides a, b, c and opposite angles A, B, C, respectively, Law of sines is given as:

Step 2. Calculation

$B y L a w o f S i n e s, F o r C, \frac{鈬� \sin (B)}{b} = \frac{\sin (C)}{c} 鈬� \sin (C) = \frac{\sin (B) 脳 c}{b} = \sin (40 掳) 脳 \frac{3}{2} = 0.6427 脳 1.5 = 0.96405 C_{1} 鈮� 74.59 掳 o r C_{2} 鈮� 180 掳 - 74.59 掳 = 105.41 掳 S i n c e, C_{1} + B < 180 掳, 鈻� A_{1} B C_{1} i s p o s s i b l e a n d C_{2} + B < 180 掳, 鈻� A_{2} B C_{2} i s p o s s i b l e . I n 鈻� A_{1} B C_{1} : F o r A_{1}, 鈬� A_{1} = 180 掳 - B - C_{1} = 180 掳 - 40 掳 - 74.59 掳 = 180 掳 - 114.59 掳 = 65.41 掳 F o r a_{1}, \frac{鈬� \sin (B)}{b} = \frac{\sin (A_{1})}{a_{1}} 鈬� a_{1} = \frac{\sin (A_{1}) 脳 b}{\sin (B)} = \frac{\sin (65.41 掳) 脳 2}{\sin (40 掳)} = \frac{0.9093 脳 2}{0.6427} = \frac{1.8186}{0.6427} = 2.8296 鈮� 2.8 I n 鈻� A_{2} B C_{2} : F o r A_{2,} 鈬� A_{2} = 180 掳 - 40 掳 - 105.41 掳 = 180 掳 - 145.41 掳 = 34.59 掳 F o r a_{2}, \frac{鈬� \sin (B)}{b} = \frac{\sin (A_{2})}{a_{2}} 鈬� a_{2} = \frac{\sin (A_{2}) 脳 b}{\sin (B)} = \frac{\sin (34.59 掳) 脳 2}{\sin (40 掳)} = \frac{0.5677 脳 2}{0.6427} = \frac{1.1354}{0.6427} = 1.7666 鈮� 1.8$
