Question

Solve the SSA triangle. Indicate whether the given measurements result in no triangle, one triagle or two triangles. Solve each resulting triangle. Round each answer to the nearest tenth.

B=45degrees b=31 c=40

Select the correct choice.

A) There are two possible solutions.

The measurements for the solution with the longer side a are as follows. A1=___degrees? C1=___degrees? a1=___?

The measurements for the solution with the shorter side a are as follows. A2=___degrees? C2=___degrees? a2=___?

B) There is only one possible solution.

The measurements for the remaining angles A and C and side a are as follows. A=___degrees? C=____degrees? a=___? (Round to nearest tenth as needed)

C) There are no possible solutions.

Explanation / Answer

B=45 , b=31, c=40

sinB/b=sinC/c

sin 45/31=sinC/40

C1=65.4 degree

C2=180-C1=114.6 degree

A1=180-B-C1=69.6 degree

A2=180-B-C2=20.4 degree

sinB/b=sinA1/a1

sin45/31=sin69.6/a1

a1=41.1

sin 45/31=sin20.4/a2

a2=15.3
