Calculate, correct to three significant figures, the length AB in the diagram above.

A.

36.4 cm

B.

36.1 cm

C.

36.2 cm

D.

36.3 cm

Correct Answer: 36.2 cm

Explanation

sinA/a = sinB/b = sinC/c ⟹sin820/43.2 = sin560/AB ⟹AB × sin820 = 43.2 × sin560 ∴ AB = (43.2 × sin560)/sin820 = 36.2cm (to 3 s.f)

sinA/a = sinB/b = sinC/c ⟹sin820/43.2 = sin560/AB ⟹AB × sin820 = 43.2 × sin560 ∴ AB = (43.2 × sin560)/sin820 = 36.2cm (to 3 s.f)
