Hey, good to see you again.
Step 1: Find the third angle in triangle ABC.
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180β.
β ACB=180βββ ABCββ CAB
β ACB=180ββ80ββ45β
β ACB=55β
Step 2: Apply the Sine Rule to find BC.
The Sine Rule states that for a triangle with sides a, b, c and opposite angles A, B, C:
sinAaβ=sinBbβ=sinCcβ
In triangle ABC, we want to find side BC (let's call it a), and we know angle CAB (A). We also know side AC (let's call it b) and angle ABC (B).
sin(β CAB)BCβ=sin(β ABC)ACβ
Substitute the given values:
sin(45β)BCβ=sin(80β)50β
Solve for BC:
BC=sin(80β)50Γsin(45β)β
BC=0.984850Γ0.7071β
BC=0.984835.355β
BCβ35.90units
The length of BC is approximately 35.90β.
