Finding the angle of a non-right angled triangle using the sine rule
Hello
How do you find the angle for this triangle using the sine rule.
Thank you

Hi;
What triangle?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Finding the angle of a non-right angled triangle using the sine rule
I am using this:
a is the left bottom angle in your drawing (67°) . b is the top angle in your drawing.
c is angle x in your drawing. A = 12.3, B = 10.6
b = 52.49°
Now you should be able to get angle x.
