Help solving these two equations...?

solve :

area = (1/2)a(225 - a) sin 90 and

area= (1/2)a(225-a)sin 70

Please explain how to complete these.

btw these are two seperate equations for two different angles, 70 & 90, they are not simultaneous equations

Thank you

  2. i am guessing you are solving for a triangle where two sides add up to 225

    for the first one .. . .

    this is a right triangle as you have a right angle (90°)

    then let A = area ... i think you are solving for a = side

    A = (1/2) a (225 - a) sin90

    2A/sin90 = a(225 - a) .. . .. . but sin90 = 1

    2A = 225a - a^2

    a^2 - 225a + 2A = 0

    use quadratic formula

    a = [225 ± √(225^2 - 8A)]/2

    choose a so that it is between 0 & 225

    for the next one, replace 90 by 70

    then

    2A/sin70 = 225a - a^2

    a^2 - 225a + 2A/sin70 = 0

    a = [225 ± √(225^2 - {8A/sin70})]/2

    0 < a < 225
