a)
To find:Whether the triangle can be solved using the Law of sines.
The Law of Sinescannot be used because the triangle is SAS.
Given information:
The given data is
Formula used:
The Law of Sines is applicable when two angles and a non-included side (AAS) or two sides and a non-inlcuded angle (SSA)is given.
Calculation:
In the given figure, there are two sides and their included angle (SAS) is given, so the Law of Sines cannot be used to solve for the triangle.
Therefore, the Law of Sines cannot be used because the triangle is SAS.
b)
To find:Whether the triangle can be solved using the Law of sines.
The Law of Sines cannot be used becauseonly two pieces of information are given.
Calculation:
From the given figure, it can be observed that only two pieces of information about the triangle is given, so the Law of Sines cannot be used to solve for the triangle.
Therefore, the Law of Sines cannot be used becauseonly two pieces of information are given.
