1. Problem Description

We are given two problems involving triangles.
Problem 1: In triangle ABCABC, we are given angle C=96.2C = 96.2^{\circ}, side b=11.2b = 11.2 cm, and side c=39.4c = 39.4 cm. We need to solve the triangle completely.
Problem 2: In triangle XYZXYZ, we are given angle Y=29.8Y = 29.8^{\circ}, angle Z=51.4Z = 51.4^{\circ}, and side x=19.6x = 19.6 cm. We need to solve the triangle completely.

2. Solution Steps

Problem 1:
We use the Law of Sines to find angle BB.
bsinB=csinC\frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin 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=11.2×0.994139.4\sin B = \frac{11.2 \times 0.9941}{39.4}
sinB=11.1339239.40.2825868\sin B = \frac{11.13392}{39.4} \approx 0.2825868
B=arcsin(0.2825868)16.39B = \arcsin(0.2825868) \approx 16.39^{\circ}
Now, we find angle AA using the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180180^{\circ}.
A=180BCA = 180^{\circ} - B - C
A=18016.3996.2A = 180^{\circ} - 16.39^{\circ} - 96.2^{\circ}
A=67.41A = 67.41^{\circ}
Now, we use the Law of Sines again to find side aa.
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=39.4×0.92340.9941a = \frac{39.4 \times 0.9234}{0.9941}
a=36.3780.994136.6a = \frac{36.378}{0.9941} \approx 36.6 cm
Problem 2:
First, we find angle XX using the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180180^{\circ}.
X=180YZX = 180^{\circ} - Y - Z
X=18029.851.4X = 180^{\circ} - 29.8^{\circ} - 51.4^{\circ}
X=98.8X = 98.8^{\circ}
Now, we use the Law of Sines to find side yy.
xsinX=ysinY\frac{x}{\sin X} = \frac{y}{\sin Y}
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=19.6×0.49720.9882y = \frac{19.6 \times 0.4972}{0.9882}
y=9.745120.98829.86y = \frac{9.74512}{0.9882} \approx 9.86 cm
Now, we use the Law of Sines to find side zz.
xsinX=zsinZ\frac{x}{\sin X} = \frac{z}{\sin Z}
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=19.6×0.78210.9882z = \frac{19.6 \times 0.7821}{0.9882}
z=15.329160.988215.51z = \frac{15.32916}{0.9882} \approx 15.51 cm

3. Final Answer

Problem 1:
A=67.41A = 67.41^{\circ}
B=16.39B = 16.39^{\circ}
a=36.6a = 36.6 cm
Problem 2:
X=98.8X = 98.8^{\circ}
y=9.86y = 9.86 cm
z=15.51z = 15.51 cm
