The city plans to build a bridge [AC] over a reservoir.

A and B are two points on the shore of the reservoir,
^ ^
such that the distance AB = 14 m, A = 102° and B = 58°.
Calculate the length of the bridge to the nearest metre.

AC 14

AC = sin 58° ( 14
sin 20° )
AC = 35 m

Find the length of a lake [CB] given the distances

AB = 290 cm and AC = 225 m and A = 72°.

CB2 = 2902 + 2252 - 2(225)(290)(cos 72°)

CB2 = 94398.2...
CB = √94398.2...
CB = 307 m

Towns A, B, and C form ⃤ ABC with sides

A = 38.0°
BC = 8 km and AC = 13 km and angle C = 50°.
Find the two missing angles. B = 92.0°

AB2 = 82 + 132 - 2(8)(13)(cos 50°)

AB2 = 99.3001...
AB = √99.3001...
AB = 9.96 km

Lesson 2.2:
Area of a Triangle
 9/6

1. A = ½ (c)(h) 3. A = ½ (c) (a sin B)

A = ½ ac sin B
2. sin B = h/a
h = a sin B

Area of ANY triangle

 9/6

A = ½ ac sin B A = ac sin B
(any triangle) (any parallelogram)

A = ½ (12.3)(7.4)(sin 39) = 28.6 cm2

A = 2 x 28.6403… = 57.3 cm2
