1. Use the values given in the above triangle and find the value of B‚ b‚ and c. A. A+B+C=180 B. A+C=48+97=145 C. B=180-145=35 2. Two sides and an angle (SSA) of a triangle are given. Determine if the given measurements produce one triangle‚ two triangles‚ or no triangle at all. Sin B)/5=sin70/7 Sin B/5=0.9397/7 Sin B=0.6712 then B=42 or 138〗 B = 138 is impossible since 138 + 70 = 208 and exceeds 180 B=42 since 42+70 = 112 and less than 180 C = 180 – 112
