A triangle has sides A, B, and C. The angle between sides A and B is pi/12π12. If side C has a length of 22 22 and the angle between sides B and C is pi/12π12, what is the length of side A?

color(blue)(ca = c = 22 " units"ca=c=22 units

Explanation:

c = 22, hat C = pi/12, hat A = pi/12, hat b = pi = pi/12 - pi/12 = (5pi)/6c=22,ˆC=π12,ˆA=π12,ˆb=π=π12π12=5π6

As per the theorem, If in a triangle two angles equal one another, then the sides opposite the equal angles also equal one another.

Hence, given triangle is an isosceles triangle with sides a & c equal as their angles equal (pi/12)(π12)

:. a = c = 22 " units"
