Will you help me to show me with steps please.

Milton wants to draw a triangle such that side a is across from angle A, side b is across from angle B and side c is across from angle C.

He wants side a to be 4 inches, side b to be 2 inches and angle B to be 50 degrees.

What will be measure of angle A in Milton's diagram if he draws it exactly?

Show at least the initial equations you set-up to find the unknowns.

No come on come on
we're not doing the whole of your prep for you !
Please tell me that you're not just getting other people to do your homework for you. You do realise that schools nowadays check forums.

Homework?
I always say homework, even when it's preps for exams. Work at home. Leave me alone Balders :(
Again, simple sine/cosine/tangent use.

Draw out the rough sketch, mark the sides and angles, then use your knowledge of sines and cosines and how they relate to the triangle sides to calculate the unknowns.
you will need the cos formula for this one I think

that is the one: a2 = b2 +c2 - 2bccosA

AND a diagram

and then plug in the values....

Xeronema, I was asking generally if the OP was Homework, nothing what so ever to do with your post, don't be so paranoid.
;o)
if you gonnna put in questions for an answer,
you should at least try to solve it
and let us see where the block is....

No sorry you are absolutely right OG
sine rule

lactic you do a diagram correctly labelled as instructed in the question
state the sine rule
and if you say:"what's that?' then you ARE in trouble

then apply it
Well I also reckon that it's the sine rule. However those measurements seem to be impossible anyway as
(a) I can't draw it ; and
(b) the sine rule seems to require an angle to have a sine of greater than 1.

Check the question carefully, LA!
please and thank you help as well
