Solution of triangle is a ~~ 1.35, b ~~ 3.23, c=2.68
and /_A=24.3 , /_B=101.1 , /_C=54.6

Explanation:

Angle between Sides a and b is /_C= 54.6^0

Angle between Sides b and c is /_A=24.3^0 :.

Angle between Sides c and a is

/_B=180-(54.6+24.3)=101.1^0 The sine rule states if

a, b and c are the lengths of the sides

and opposite angles are A, B and C in a triangle, then:

a/sinA = b/sinB=c/sinC ; c=2.68 ; b/sinB=c/sinC or

b/sin101.1=2.68/sin54.6 or b= 2.68* (sin101.1/sin54.6) or

b ~~ 3.23 (2dp) Similarly a/sinA=c/sinC or

a/sin24.3=2.68/sin54.6 or a= 2.68*(sin24.3/sin54.6) or

a ~~ 1.35 (2dp) :. Solution:a ~~ 1.35, b ~~ 3.23, c=2.68

and /_A=24.3 , /_B=101.1 , /_C=54.6 [Ans]
