Solution Steps
To solve the triangle, we need to find the missing angle C and the sides b and c.
Find angle C: Use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180∘.
Find side b: Use the Law of Sines, which states sin(A)a=sin(B)b.
Find side c: Again, use the Law of Sines, sin(A)a=sin(C)c.
Step 1: Find Angle C
Using the triangle angle sum property, we have:
C=180∘−A−B=180∘−39∘−64∘=77∘
Step 2: Find Side b
Applying the Law of Sines:
sin(A)a=sin(B)b
Substituting the known values:
sin(39∘)5=sin(64∘)b
Solving for b:
b=5⋅sin(39∘)sin(64∘)≈7.1
Step 3: Find Side c
Again using the Law of Sines:
sin(A)a=sin(C)c
Substituting the known values:
sin(39∘)5=sin(77∘)c
Solving for c:
c=5⋅sin(39∘)sin(77∘)≈7.7
Final Answer
C=77∘,b≈7.1,c≈7.7
Thus, the final boxed answers are:
C=77∘,b≈7.1,c≈7.7
