What is angle S, and what do side r and t measure?
All angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees. 75 + 42 = 117; 180 - 117 = 63 degrees; angle S measures 63 degrees.
Use the law of sines to get the lengths of sides r and t. sin(R)/r = sin(S)/s = sin(T)/t
sin(42)/r = sin(63)/5 = sin(75)/t
sin(42)/r = sin(63)/5
sin(42) = r*sin(63)/5
r = [5sin(42)]/sin(63)
sin(63)/5 = sin(75)/t
t*sin(63)/5 = sin(75)
t = [5sin(75)]/sin(63)
Plug those into a calculator to get numbers.
Angle S= 180-75-42=63 degrees
You can use the law of sins to find the other two sides. Sin(T)/t=Sin(S)/s=Sin(R)/r
side r=Sin(42)*5/Sin(63)= 3.8 m
side t=Sin(75)*5/Sin(63)= 5.4 m
∡S = 180°- 75°- 42° = 63°
Use Law of Sines to find sides r and t:
sin 63°/5 = sin 75°/t = sin 42°/r
t = 5sin75°/sin63° ≈ 5.42 m
and
r = 5sin42°/sin63° ≈ 3.755 m
