Here are the solutions to your trigonometry problems:
1. In the triangle ABC, ABC = 80, CAB = 45 and AC = 50. Find BC.
Step 1: Find the third angle of the triangle.
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180∘.
∠ACB=180∘−∠ABC−∠CAB
∠ACB=180∘−80∘−45∘
∠ACB=55∘
Step 2: Apply the Sine Rule.
The Sine Rule states sinAa=sinBb=sinCc. We want to find BC (side a).
sin(∠CAB)BC=sin(∠ABC)AC
sin(45∘)BC=sin(80∘)50
Step 3: Solve for BC.
BC=sin(80∘)50×sin(45∘)
BC=0.984850×0.7071
BC=0.984835.355
BC≈35.900
The length of BC is approximately 35.90units.
2. In the triangle PQR, RPQ = 60, QRP = 50 and RP = 6.5. Find PQ.
Step 1: Find the third angle of the triangle.
∠PQR=180∘−∠RPQ−∠QRP
∠PQR=180∘−60∘−50∘
∠PQR=70∘
Step 2: Apply the Sine Rule.
We want to find PQ (side r).
sin(∠QRP)PQ=sin(∠PQR)RP
sin(50∘)PQ=sin(70∘)6.5
Step 3: Solve for PQ.
PQ=sin(70∘)6.5×sin(50∘)
PQ=0.93976.5×0.7660
PQ=0.93974.979
PQ≈5.298
The length of PQ is approximately 5.30units.
