Answer» 3x+5x+7x=300 15x=300 x=20 By using COSINE rule to FIND some ANGLE from the triangle. let a =3x b=5x c=7x a=60 b=100 c=140(We need to find the angle between a and b) c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab cos C ( Find the angle opposite of line c) 19600=3600+10000-[ 2(60)(100) cosC] -6000= 12000cos C C=120 By using formula of Side angle side (AB sin C)/2=(60x100 sin120)/2 =2598.07m^2 |
