The correct Answer is:
To solve the triangle ABC with given values \( a = 4 \), \( b = 8 \), and \( \angle C = 60^\circ \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Use the Cosine Rule to find side \( c \) The Cosine Rule states: \[ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos(C) \] Substituting the known values: \[ c^2 = 4^2 + 8^2 - 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 8 \cdot \cos(60^\circ) \] \[ c^2 = 16 + 64 - 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 8 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \] \[ c^2 = 16 + 64 - 32 \] \[ c^2 = 48 \] \[ c = \sqrt{48} = 4\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 2: Use the Sine Rule to find angle \( A \) The Sine Rule states: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} \] Using the first part of the Sine Rule: \[ \frac{4}{\sin A} = \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{\sin(60^\circ)} \] Since \( \sin(60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \), we can substitute: \[ \frac{4}{\sin A} = \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \] \[ \frac{4}{\sin A} = 8 \] Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 4 = 8 \sin A \] \[ \sin A = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2} \] Thus: \[ A = 30^\circ \] ### Step 3: Find angle \( B \) Since the sum of angles in a triangle is \( 180^\circ \): \[ A + B + C = 180^\circ \] Substituting the known values: \[ 30^\circ + B + 60^\circ = 180^\circ \] \[ B = 180^\circ - 90^\circ = 90^\circ \] ### Final Results - The length of side \( c \) is \( 4\sqrt{3} \). - Angle \( A \) is \( 30^\circ \). - Angle \( B \) is \( 90^\circ \). - Angle \( C \) is \( 60^\circ \).
