The area of triangle ABC is 3√2 square inches. Find the measure of the acute angle, A, if b = 9 meters and c = 2 meters.


14°

28°

42°

71°

Verified Answer :

The answer is 28 degrees.

Answer:

The measure of angle C is 28°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the area of triangle ABC is 3√2 square inches.

we have to find the measure of angle A if b=9 m and c=2 m

As area of triangle can be calculated as

\(Area=\frac{1}{2}\times b\times c\times \Sin C\)

\(3\sqrt2=\frac{1}{2}\times 9\times 2\times \sin C\)

\(\sin C=\frac{3\sqrt2 \times 2}{9\times 2}=\frac{\sqrt2}{3}\)

\(C=sin^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt2}{3})=28.125\sim 28^{\circ}\)

Option 2 is correct.
