1. Problem Description

We are given two triangle problems.
1) In triangle ABCABC, C=96.2C = 96.2^\circ, b=11.2b = 11.2 cm, and c=39.4c = 39.4 cm. We need to solve the triangle completely.
2) In triangle XYZXYZ, Y=29.8Y = 29.8^\circ, Z=51.4Z = 51.4^\circ, and x=19.6x = 19.6 cm. We need to solve the triangle completely.

2. Solution Steps

Problem 1: Triangle ABCABC
We are given CC, bb, and cc.
We can use the Law of Sines to find angle BB.
sinBb=sinCc\frac{\sin B}{b} = \frac{\sin C}{c}
sinB=bsinCc\sin B = \frac{b \sin C}{c}
sinB=11.2sin(96.2)39.4\sin B = \frac{11.2 \sin(96.2^\circ)}{39.4}
sinB=11.2×0.994039.411.132839.40.2825\sin B = \frac{11.2 \times 0.9940}{39.4} \approx \frac{11.1328}{39.4} \approx 0.2825
B=arcsin(0.2825)16.39B = \arcsin(0.2825) \approx 16.39^\circ
Now we can find angle AA:
A=180BCA = 180^\circ - B - C
A=18016.3996.2A = 180^\circ - 16.39^\circ - 96.2^\circ
A=180112.59=67.41A = 180^\circ - 112.59^\circ = 67.41^\circ
Now we can find side aa:
Using Law of Sines:
asinA=csinC\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{c}{\sin C}
a=csinAsinCa = \frac{c \sin A}{\sin C}
a=39.4sin(67.41)sin(96.2)a = \frac{39.4 \sin(67.41^\circ)}{\sin(96.2^\circ)}
a=39.4×0.92340.9940a = \frac{39.4 \times 0.9234}{0.9940}
a=36.3820.994036.60a = \frac{36.382}{0.9940} \approx 36.60 cm
Problem 2: Triangle XYZXYZ
We are given YY, ZZ, and xx.
We can find angle XX first:
X=180YZX = 180^\circ - Y - Z
X=18029.851.4X = 180^\circ - 29.8^\circ - 51.4^\circ
X=18081.2=98.8X = 180^\circ - 81.2^\circ = 98.8^\circ
Now we can find side yy using Law of Sines:
ysinY=xsinX\frac{y}{\sin Y} = \frac{x}{\sin X}
y=xsinYsinXy = \frac{x \sin Y}{\sin X}
y=19.6sin(29.8)sin(98.8)y = \frac{19.6 \sin(29.8^\circ)}{\sin(98.8^\circ)}
y=19.6×0.49720.9881y = \frac{19.6 \times 0.4972}{0.9881}
y=9.745120.98819.86y = \frac{9.74512}{0.9881} \approx 9.86 cm
Now we can find side zz using Law of Sines:
zsinZ=xsinX\frac{z}{\sin Z} = \frac{x}{\sin X}
z=xsinZsinXz = \frac{x \sin Z}{\sin X}
z=19.6sin(51.4)sin(98.8)z = \frac{19.6 \sin(51.4^\circ)}{\sin(98.8^\circ)}
z=19.6×0.78200.9881z = \frac{19.6 \times 0.7820}{0.9881}
z=15.32720.988115.51z = \frac{15.3272}{0.9881} \approx 15.51 cm

3. Final Answer

Problem 1:
A=67.41A = 67.41^\circ
B=16.39B = 16.39^\circ
a=36.60a = 36.60 cm
Problem 2:
X=98.8X = 98.8^\circ
y=9.86y = 9.86 cm
z=15.51z = 15.51 cm
