In a triangle, if b=20, c=21 and A= 3 5 , then a is equal to :
Options
- A12
- B13
- C14
- D15
Correct answer
B. 13
Step-by-step solution
We have, b=20, c=21 and A= 3 5 Now, ^2 A=1- ^2 A=1- ( 3 5 )^2=1- 9 25 = 16 25 A= 4 5 Now, A= b^2+c^2-a^2 2 b c 4 5 = (20)^2+(21)^2-a^2 2 20 21 400+441-a^2=672 a^2=841-672=169 a=13
