10.1 and 10.2
Law of Sines
1. Solve each triangle using law of sines. Round the answer to two decimal places.
a. A = 108◦, a = 24 cm, B = 33◦.

b. C = 23◦, a = 15 m, A = 77◦.

c. A = 59◦, c = 7 yd, B = 67◦.

2. Solve each triangle ABC using the law of sines. If no triangle exists, explain why. Round the answer to two
decimal places.
a. B = 30◦, A = 100◦, b = 6 in.

b. b = 4 m., c = 5 m., B = 95◦

c. a = 2 in., b = 3 in., A = 40◦

d. c = 4 ft., a = 5 ft., C = 40◦

Law of Cosines
3. Solve each triangle ABC using the law of cosines. Round the answer to two decimal places.

a. a = 189 yd, b = 214 yd, c = 325 yd.

b. a = 4 ft, b = 5 ft, c = 8 ft.

c. a = 6 cm., b = 4 cm., C = 60◦

d. b = 4 yd., c = 1 yd., A = 120◦
