Can u post the full question

Also can u post a picture of the set up and a sketch of the sine curve. I think these two will help u out a bit.

If memory serves this will make more sense once u have done the trig part of c2

This is the question in its entirety:

Find 2 possible triangles ABC which satisfy b = 5, a = 3, A = 35 deg.



Find the 2 possible triangles ABC which satisfy b = 5, a = 3, A = 35 deg. 5th question in the AS Mathematics CGP Maths book for the Trignometric part of C2. I have tried to use the Sine formula, the Cosine formula or any other method that I've covered so far in the trignometric part of C2.


I more or less asked what your problem with the question is. What is it that you do not understand? Did the link help see how there can be 2 triangles from simply being given two sides and an angle?
