    1.

    Solve for all missing sides and angle

    Triangle ABC AB = 12 Angle B = 45° Angle C = 52°

    Angle A = 83°

    Acute Scalene Triangle

    Side a = 15.11471

    Side b = 10.76798

    2.

    Solve for all missing sides and angle

    Triangle ABC Angle A = 45° Angle C = 15° AC =200

    Angle B = 120°

    Obtuse Scalene Triangle

    Side a = 163.29932

    Side c = 59.7717

    1.

    A + B + C = 180° (∠ sum of Δ)

    A + 45° + 52° = 180°

    A = 83°

    BC / sinA = AB / sinC (sine law)

    BC / sin83° = 12 / sin52°

    BC = 12 × sin83° / sin52°

    BC = 15.1

    AC / sinB = AB / sinC (sine law)

    AC / sin45° = 12 / sin52°

    AC = 12 × sin45° / sin52°

    AC = 10.8

    2.

    A + B + C = 180° (∠ sum of Δ)

    45° + B + 15° = 180°

    B = 120°

    AB / sinC = AC / sinB (sine law)

    AB / sin15° = 200 / sin120°

    AB = 200 × sin15° / sin120

    AB = 59.8

    BC / sinA = AC / sinB (sine law)

    BC / sin45° = 200 / sin120°

    BC = 200 × sin45° / sin120°

    BC = 163.3

    Like the other time, whatever the triangle, the sum of the 3 angles is always 180 °.

    You can write:

    A + 45 + 52 = 180

    A + 97 = 180

    A = 83

    Then you draw the red line (perpendicular to the line (BC), and you can write:

    AM = 12.sin(45)

    AM = AC.sin(52)

    AC.sin(52) = 12.sin(45)

    AC = 12.sin(45) / sin(52) → recall: sin(45) = (√2)/2

    AC = 12.[(√2)/2] / sin(52)

    AC = (6√2) / sin(52)

    AC ≈ 10.7679

    AC = 10.77

    BC = AC.cos(52) + AB.cos(45) → recall AC

    BC = [(6√2) / sin(52)] + AB.cos(45) → you know that: AB = 12

    BC = [(6√2) / sin(52)] + 12.cos(45) → recall: cos(45) = (√2)/2

    BC = [(6√2) / sin(52)] + 12.[(√2)/2]

    BC = [(6√2) / sin(52)] + 6√2

    BC ≈ 19.2532

    BC = 19.26

    In both cases, you are given a triangle with two known angles and one known side.

    The sum of the angles of any triangle is 180°. Use that fact to find the one unknown angle.

    The law of sines states that in any triangle, the sines of the angles are proportional to the lengths of their opposite sides. Use that to find the two unknown sides.
