Homework Help Overview

The original poster seeks assistance in solving a right triangle and two oblique triangles using logarithms. They have provided specific angle and side measurements but are looking for verification of their calculations.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Some participants question the meaning of "solve the triangle" and the method of using logarithms. Others inquire about the specific goals of the calculations, such as whether all sides or angles need to be found. There is a suggestion to provide work for checking.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking clarification on the original poster's requests and emphasizing the importance of showing work for verification. There is no explicit consensus on the methods to be used or the definitions of the terms involved.

Contextual Notes

Participants note that the forum does not provide complete solutions and that the original poster should present their calculations for review.

Any Help ?

Solve the following right triangle by logarithms :

A= 28°30', b= 18.3 units

and solve the following oblique triangles, too :


1)a= 31, b= 15, c = 17


2) a=23.47, B= 115°30', C = 20° 29'



I have already done my calculations but I need a check !

Thanks

Ok, well for the first one I don't know what it means firstly by "solve the triangle" and secondly by "by logarithms."

Again, for the other triangles, I don't know what you mean by solve-- do you mean find all the sides, or angles, or a few of the angles or what?

Finally, you should note that if you want work checking, you should show your work and answers-- we do not do homework for students here.
 
what Laws would you use to solve these triangles? so you have done your calculations, post them and we'll check'em!

I don't know how you expect us to check your work when you don't show any!

If you expect people to give solutions so you can "check" against your work, that isn't going to happen!
