Q. The area of a triangle is 866 . Two of the side lengths are 33 and 98 and the included angle is acute. Find the measure of the included angle, to the nearest tenth of a degree.Answer:
Area Calculation: We know the formula for the area of a triangle when two sides and the included angle are given: Area=21⋅a⋅b⋅sin(C), where a and b are the sides and C is the included angle. We can use this formula to find the measure of the included angle.Area=21⋅33⋅98⋅sin(C)=866.
Isolating sin(C): First, we need to isolate sin(C) in the equation.sin(C)=a×b2×Area=33×982×866.
Calculating sin(C): Now, we calculate the value of sin(C).sin(C)=32341732≈0.5355.
Finding Angle C: To find the angle C, we need to take the inverse sine (arcsin) of extsin(C). C=extarcsin(0.5355).
Calculating Angle C: Using a calculator, we find the value of C to the nearest tenth of a degree.C≈32.5∘.
