Q:

Find the the measure of angle C

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:C = 72.97°Step-by-step explanation:Known side b (=13) is opposite known angle 47 deg, and known side c (=17) is opposite unknown angle C.  This situation calls for the application of the Law of Sines:     13              17------------ = ----------- sin 47°       sin CSolving this equation for sin C, we go through the following procedure:Cross multiply, obtaining 13sin C = 17°sin 47°, or              17sin 47°sin C = ---------------- = (17/13) sin 47° = 1.308 sin 47° = (1.308)(0.731)                    13Then sin C = 0.956The angle C is equal to arcsin 0.956:  C = 72.97°Then
