In ΔABC, ∠ C=30∘, ∠ B=80∘, ∠ A=70∘, AB=12 cm as shown in the figure. Find the length of the side AC.
⎡⎢⎣sin 30∘=0.5sin 70∘=0.93sin 80∘=0.98⎤⎥⎦
Draw diameter AD passing through centre O and connect DB
∠ D=30∘ (Angle subtended by the same chord AB)
∠ ABD=90∘ (Angle subtended by the diameter on the circumference)
In right - angled triangle ABD
sin 30∘=ABAD
AD=ABsin 30∘=120.5=d=24 cm ...(1)
In Δ ABC, applying sine rule
ACsin 80∘=ABsin 30∘=d=24 cm...( from (1))
AC=24×sin 80∘=23.63 cm
