$color(indigo)("Length of side " = a = b = 6.53 " units"$

$hat A = (3pi)/8, hat C = pi/4, c = 25, " To find a & b"$

$hat B = pi - (3pi)/8 - pi / 4 = (3pi) / 8$

It's an isosceles triangle with sides a & b equal.

$a / sin A = b / sin B = c / sin C$

$:. a = b = (c * sin B) / sin C = (25 * sin ((3pi)/8)) / sin (pi/4)$

$color(indigo)(a = b = 6.53 " units"$

A triangle has sides A, B, and C. The angle between sides A and B is (pi)/4(pi)/4. If side C has a length of 25 25 and the angle between sides B and C is ( 3 pi)/8( 3 pi)/8, what are the lengths of sides A and B?
