Set up Law of Sines, cross multiply, and find arcsin of ∠B to get ∠B1 = 64.6°.
Add angles A & B1 and subtract that from 180° to find ∠C1
7 7.3sin(60) sin(B)
7 csin(60) sin(55.4)
Set up Law of Sines including ∠C1 & c1, cross multiply, and get c1 alone so c1 = 6.7 ft
=
=
7sin(55.4)sin(60)
B1 = sin
-1
= c1
Think of swinging side "a" on a hinge until it makes another triangle. Because this would make an isosceles triangle, the two angles would be equal. A line measures 180° and so taking B1 from it gives the supplementary angle. This would be ∠B2. This gives us J.J.'s triangle.
*In other cases, add the B2 with ∠A to make sure it is less than 180, if not, there is no other triangle.*
