Find all possible solutions for the triangle (should only be 2)
![**Triangle Problem Solving**
Given data:
1. Angle A = 60° 43'
2. Side a = 85.20
3. Side b = 60.3
4. Angle B = 65° 40'
Angles and sides to find:
- **Angle C**
- **Side c** (for both triangles)
Using the Law of Sines:
\[
\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}
\]
Calculate values:
1. Calculate angle C using:
\[ C = 180° - (A + B) \]
2. Use the Law of Sines to find side c:
\[ c = \frac{a \cdot \sin C}{\sin A} \]
Repeat calculations if necessary for different angles C that satisfy the given conditions.
**Note:** The problem involves finding all sides for two possible configurations of the triangle (ambiguous case in trigonometry).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fdbb4acdd-a57e-402a-a3de-67cd701254f2%2F573b5bf4-6249-49f2-8bab-f72d6762e812%2Flrftgnl_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
