The Law of Sines: a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C

24/sin 42˚ = c/sin (180˚ - 42˚ - 87˚) since there are 180˚ in a triangle.

24/sin 42˚ = c/sin 51˚

c = 24(sin 51˚)/sin 42˚ ≈ 28

What is the measure of angle A in triangle ABC if B equals 15 degrees C equals 65 degrees and side a equals 19?

If you are really talking about a closed triangle ABC, then the length of side "a" (given as 19) does not matter in the calculation. Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. Angle B and C add up to 15 + 65 = 80 degrees. Hence angle A is (180 - 80) = 100 degrees

It's called an 'equilateral triangle'.


What are the 30-60-90 triangles?

In a right triangle where two other angles are 30 and 60 degrees, the side opposite to the 30 degree angle has a length that equals the half of the hypotenuse length.


Area of an isosceles right angled triangle?

The area of a right angled triangle would be .5 * length *width where the length is the height of the triangle. To find the height of the triangle, take the sine of 45 degrees, which is the degree of the angles other than the 90 degrees, and multiply it by the length of one of the two equal sides. The width of the triangle is the length of the bottom side.


Can the sum of two sides of a triangle be less than the third side?

Yes. Lets say one side is 110 degrees. A triangle equals 180 degrees so the rest is split into 70 degrees. So one side is 110 and the 2 others are 70 degrees which would be yes. No. The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle will always be more than the length of the third side of the triangle.
