Q. In △DEF,f=83cm,e=60cm and ∠E=29∘. Find all possible values of ∠F, to the nearest 10th of a degree.Answer:
Calculate sin(E): We can use the Law of Sines to find the possible values of angle F. The Law of Sines states that in any triangle, the ratio of the length of a side to the sine of its opposite angle is constant. That is, for triangle DEF:esin(E)=fsin(F)First, we need to calculate sin(E).sin(E)=sin(29 degrees)
Plug values into formula: Now we plug the values into the Law of Sines formula to find sin(F).fsin(F)=esin(E)83sin(F)=60sin(29 degrees)
Solve for sin(F): We solve for sin(F).sin(F)=(60sin(29∘))×83
Calculate sin(F): We calculate the value of sin(F).sin(F)=(60sin(29∘))∗83sin(F)≈(600.4848)∗83sin(F)≈0.6706
Correct calculation error: Since the sine of an angle cannot be greater than 1, we must have made a calculation error in the previous step. Let's correct it.sin(F)=60sin(29∘)×83sin(F)≈600.4848×83sin(F)≈0.6706This is incorrect because sin(29∘)≈0.4848 is already less than 1, so multiplying it by a fraction6083 should give us a number less than 0.4848.
