  1. just use the cosine law.,which is c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcosC.,get first side a then use the law.,but i'm not sure about it.,cause its a ryt triangle.,

    ther's also another law.,its the sine law.,which is.,a over sinA is equal to b over sinB is equal to c over sinC.,not sure also.,en i don't think if these 2 will apply on right triangles.,

    its one of our past lessons in trigonometry.,i forgot about our past lessons in geometry last2 school year..,


  2. Start by drawing a diagram of a right angled triangle, label it correctly.

    now use the sin rule , sinA/a = sinB/b = sinC/c.

    we substitute in the values that we know

                    sinB/105 = sin90/139

    we are trying to find the value of B , so we try to make it the subject of the equation.

                    multiply both sides by 105

                    sinB = 105sin90/139

                    since sin90 = 1, we have sinB = 105/139

    the inverse function os sin will then tell us that B = 49.05

  3. Oh, geez, wish I would have paid attention in math class

    I still don't know how to do these
