Q. (1) The angles of a triangle measure 104∘,51∘, and 25∘. The perimeter of the triangle is 10m. Find, rounded to 2 decimal places, the length of each side of the triangle.REVIEW SET 12A
Verify Triangle Angles: Verify if the angles form a triangle.Sum of angles in a triangle = 180∘.104∘+51∘+25∘=180∘.
Use Law of Sines: Use the Law of Sines to find the sides.The Law of Sines states: sin(A)a=sin(B)b=sin(C)c=k (where k is a constant).Let's denote the sides opposite to angles 104∘, 51∘, and 25∘ as a, b, and c respectively.
Calculate Constant k: Calculate the constant k using the perimeter.Perimeter =a+b+c=10m.Assume k=sin(104°)+sin(51°)+sin(25°)10.k≈(0.970+0.777+0.423)10=2.17010.k≈4.61.
Find Side Lengths: Find each side using the constant k.a=k×sin(104°)≈4.61×0.970≈4.47m.b=k×sin(51°)≈4.61×0.777≈3.58m.c=k×sin(25°)≈4.61×0.423≈1.95m.
Check Perimeter: Check if the calculated sides add up to the perimeter.4.47m+3.58m+1.95m≈10m.
