In ΔFGH, \( g = 17 \) inches, \( f = 83 \) inches, and \( \angle F = 126° \). Find all possible values of \( \angle G \), to the nearest degree.

Answer :

The possible value of angle G are given as follows:

g = 10º.

What is the law of sines?

Suppose we have a triangle in which:

  • Side with a length of a is opposite to angle A.
  • Side with a length of b is opposite to angle B.
  • Side with a length of c is opposite to angle C.

The lengths and the sine of the angles are related as follows:

[tex]\frac{\sin{A}}{a} = \frac{\sin{B}}{b} = \frac{\sin{C}}{c}[/tex]

The relation for this problem is given as follows:

sin(126º)/83 = sin(g)/17

Hence the measure of angle g is obtained as follows:

sin(g) = 17 x sine of 126 degrees/83

sin(g) = 0.1657

g = arcsin(0.1657)

g = 10º. -> rounded to the nearest degree.
