solve the triangle.
no triangle with the given measurements.
Step1: Apply the Law of Cosines
The Law of Cosines states that \(c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}-2ab\cos C\). But first, we can check the sum of angles. The sum of angles in a triangle is \(180^{\circ}\). Let's assume the side - angle relations.
Another approach is using the Law of Sines \(\frac{\sin A}{a}=\frac{\sin B}{b}=\frac{\sin C}{c}\). Let's assume the given side \(c = 5.0\) m, side \(4.6\) m and angle \(70^{\circ}\).
If we use the Law of Sines: \(\frac{\sin70^{\circ}}{5}=\frac{\sin\beta}{4.6}\)
\(\beta=\sin^{- 1}(0.8645)\approx60^{\circ}\)
Then \(\alpha=180^{\circ}-70^{\circ}-\beta\). Substituting \(\beta = 60^{\circ}\), we get \(\alpha=180^{\circ}-70^{\circ}-60^{\circ}=50^{\circ}\)
Now, using the Law of Sines again to find \(b\): \(\frac{\sin50^{\circ}}{b}=\frac{\sin70^{\circ}}{5}\)
