Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
The best way to approach this problem is Soh Cah Toa.
In this case you can use sine. sine is opposite over hypotenuse.
so sin(17)= b/15
then to solve for b you multiply 15 on both sides to get 4.4
Answer:
This question is an application of the sine law
Equation
b/sin(B) = c / Sin(C)
Givens
b = ????
B = 17
c = 15
C = 140
Solution
Keep in mind that this may not work.
b/sin(17) = 15 / sin(140) Multiply both sides by sin(17)
b = 15*sin(17)/sin(140)
b = 15*0.2924/0.6428
b = 6.8233
