Answer:
I would use the Law of Sines strategy to find y ⇒ C
Step-by-step explanation:
In an acute triangle or an obtuse triangle, we can use:
- Law of Sines OR Law of Cosines to solve the triangle
- If you have the lengths of 2 sides and the measure of the opposite angle to one of these sides use the Law of Sines to solve the triangle
- If you have the lengths of the 3 sides use the Law of Cosines
Let us study the given in the question.
→ In Δ ABC
∵ m∠C = 48°
∵ The length of the side AB = 200 yds ⇒ opposite to ∠C
∵ m∠B = y
∵ The length of the side AC = 250 yds ⇒ opposite to ∠B
→ The given is two sides and measure of an opposite angle
∴ We can use the Law of Sines to find the value of y
∵ [tex]\frac{AB}{sin(C)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{AC}{sin(y)}[/tex]
∴ [tex]\frac{200}{sin(48)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{250}{sin(y)}[/tex]
→ By using the cross-multiplication, we can find sin(y) and then the
value of y
∴ I would use the Law of sines strategy to find y
