Question
Use the Law of sines to solve triangle $A B C$ if $A=35^{\circ}, a=11,$ and$b=15 .$ Assume $B$ is acute. Round lengths of sides to the nearest tenth and angle measures to the nearest.
Step 1
We can use the Law of Sines to find the measure of angle $B$. The Law of Sines states that the ratio of the length of a side of a triangle to the sine of the angle opposite that side is the same for all three sides of the triangle. So, we have: \[\frac{a}{\sin A} Show more…
