Q. In △JKL,j=4.1cm,l=1.2cm and ∠L=29∘. Find all possible values of ∠J, to the nearest 10th of a degree.Answer:
Apply Law of Sines: To find the possible values of ∠J, we can use the Law of Sines, which relates the lengths of sides of a triangle to the sines of its opposite angles. The Law of Sines states that for any triangle ABC with sides a, b, and c opposite angles A, B, and C respectively, the following ratio holds true: (sinA)/a=(sinB)/b=(sinC)/c. We will apply this to triangle JKL.
Find length of side k: First, we need to find the length of side k opposite angle /L. We can use the Law of Sines to find this. We have two sides and one angle, so we can write the equation as lsinL=jsinJ. We know L and l, so we can solve for sinJ.1.2sin29∘=4.1sinJ
Calculate sin29∘: Now we calculate sin29∘ using a calculator.sin29∘≈0.4848
Substitute sin29∘: Substitute the value of sin29∘ into the equation and solve for sinJ.1.20.4848=4.1sinJsinJ≈1.20.4848×4.1
Perform multiplication and division: Perform the multiplication and division to find sinJ.sinJ≈1.21.98728sinJ≈1.6561
