Step-by-step solution

  1. Find the third angle in triangle ABC.

    The sum of angles in a triangle is 180∘180^\circ.

    ∠ACB=180∘−∠ABC−∠CAB\angle ACB = 180^\circ - \angle ABC - \angle CAB ∠ACB=180∘−80∘−45∘\angle ACB = 180^\circ - 80^\circ - 45^\circ ∠ACB=55∘\angle ACB = 55^\circ
  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:

    asin⁡A=bsin⁡B=csin⁡C\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}

    In triangle ABC, we want to find side BC (let's call it aa), and we know angle CAB (A). We also know side AC (let's call it bb) and angle ABC (B).

    BCsin⁡(∠CAB)=ACsin⁡(∠ABC)\frac{BC}{\sin(\angle CAB)} = \frac{AC}{\sin(\angle ABC)}

    Substitute the given values:

    BCsin⁡(45∘)=50sin⁡(80∘)\frac{BC}{\sin(45^\circ)} = \frac{50}{\sin(80^\circ)}

    Solve for BC:

    BC=50×sin⁡(45∘)sin⁡(80∘)BC = \frac{50 \times \sin(45^\circ)}{\sin(80^\circ)} BC=50×0.70710.9848BC = \frac{50 \times 0.7071}{0.9848} BC=35.3550.9848BC = \frac{35.355}{0.9848} BC≈35.90 unitsBC \approx 35.90 \text{ units}

    The length of BC is approximately 35.90.
