Using 4

Using the law of cosines, find the measurement of leg b if the givens are B=20°, a=10, and c=15.

Correct answer:

b =  6.5645

Step-by-step explanation:

B=20  a=10 c=15  b2 = a2+c2  2 a c cos B  b=a2+c22 a c cosB=a2+c22 a c cos20° =102+1522 10 15 cos20° =102+1522 10 15 0.939693=6.564=6.5645
