Question

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

Solution

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
