Given that the measure of angle p is equal to 49 degrees, the measure of angle r is equal to 47 degrees, and side p is equal to 8, solve for the triangle pqr.
00:16
First off, we start by drawing the triangle and labeling each of the angle, so pqr.
00:26
And then let's plug in the information that we have, so we know measure of angle p is equal to 49 degrees.
00:35
And side p, which is opposite angle p, is equal to 8, and measure of angle r is equal to 57 degrees.
00:48
So when we are asked to solve our triangle, we need to find all the angles and all of the side measures.
00:54
So first off, the sum of all the angle measures and a triangle is always equal to 180 degrees.
01:01
So we can find out what the missing angle is by taking 180 and subtracting the other two angles.
01:08
So subtract 49 and subtract 57.
01:14
180 minus 49 minus 57 and that is equal to 74.
01:25
So angle q is equal to 74.
01:29
Now we just need to find the two side lengths that are missing side length q and side length are.
01:36
This is side length q.
01:39
And this is side length r.
01:42
We're going to use the law of sign.
01:45
So we're going to use side p over sign of angle p...
