In a triangle ABC, side AB=10 cm, side AC=5cm and the angle BAC=θ, measured in degrees. The area of triangle ABC is 15cm(sq). Find 2 possible values for cosθ and the exact length of BC, given that it is the longest side of the triangle.

To find cosθ, use the formula for the area of a triangle i.e. AREA=1/2 x a x b x sinC.=> For this case: 15= 1/2 x 10 x 5 x sinC to find sinC.=> SinC = 3/5 thus, Arcsin(3/5)=+- 4/5 or +-0.8 To find the ...
