Given b = 4, A = 10o
Find a, c, and B

A + B = 90o ==>

B = 90o 10o = 80o

Solve the triangle:
A + B + C = 180o

0.71
A = 40o,

B = 40o,

c=2

==> C = 180o (A + B) = 180o 80o

= 100o

==> a =

1.31

==> b =

1.31

Given b = 4, c = 3, B = 40o
Determine whether the given information results in one triangle, two
triangles, or no triangle
Step 1:
==> sinC =

0.4821

There are two angles with 0 < C < 180o

C1 = sin-1(0.4821) = 28.8o

or

C2 = 180o 28.8o = 151.2o

Step 2:
Thus A1 + B + C1 = 180o ==> A1 = 180o (B + C1) = 180o 68.8o
= 111.2o
A2 + B + C2 = 180o ==> A2 = 180o (B + C2) = 180o 191.2o
= 11.2o
(which is impossible)
Then, when b = 4, c = 3, A1 = 111.2o, B = 40o, C1 = 28.8o
Step 3:
==>

a1 =

5.80

Answer: One triangle with

A1 = 111.2o, B = 40o, C1 = 28.8o, a = 5.80, b = 4, c = 3
