Given that a=43 degrees , b=82 degrees and c=28, solve triangle abc. round to the nearest hundredth. a) c= 93 degrees , b= 33.8 , a= 23.3 b) c= 55 degrees , b= 33.8 , a= 23.3 c) c= 55 degrees , b= 23.3 , a= 33.8 d) c= 93 degrees , b= 23.3 , a= 33.8

A=43°
B=82°
c=28

1) A+B+C=180°
Replacing A=43° and B=82° in the equation above:
43°+82°+C=180°
125°+C=180°
Solving for C. Subtracting 125° both sides of the equation:
125°+C-125°=180°-125°
C=55° (option B or C)

2) Law of sines
a/sin A=b/sin B=c/sin C
Replacing A=43°, B=82°, C=55°, and c=28 in the equation above:
a/sin 43°=b/sin 82°=28/sin 55°

2.1) a/sin 43°=28/sin 55°
Solving for a. Multiplying both sides of the equation by sin 43°:
sin 43°(a/sin 43°)=sin 43°(28/sin 55°)
a=28 sin 43° / sin 55°
Using the calculator: sin 43°=0.681998360, sin 55°=0.819152044
a=28(0.681998360)/0.819152044
a=23.31185549
Rounded to one decimal place
a=23.3

 2.2) b/sin 82°=28/sin 55°
Solving for a. Multiplying both sides of the equation by sin 82°:
sin 82°(b/sin 82°)=sin 82°(28/sin 55°)
b=28 sin 82° / sin 55°
Using the calculator: sin 82°=0.990268069, sin 55°=0.819152044
b=28(0.990268069)/0.819152044
b=33.84903466
Rounded to one decimal place
b=33.8

Option B) C=55°, b=33.8, a=23.3
