Homework Statement
I have to find the measures of the angles x & y.
Homework Equations
Sine Law
Cosine Law
The Attempt at a Solution
First thing I tried to do was find the measure of the angle @ A.
a/SinA = c/SinC
66/SinA = 25/Sin10.5
and then I end up with 28 degrees for the angle @ A. 28 degrees is obviously wrong. I'm ending up with an error and I can't understand why because so far as I understand my procedure is correct.
I want to solve for angle A, then because I already have angle C I can solve for angle B.
From angle B I could find the angle next to (x), thereby finding x becasue the sum of the two would be 180.
