There are two noncongruent triangles where B = 55, a = 15, and b = 13. Find the measures of the angles of the triangle with the greater perimeter. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

correct

step-by-step explanation:

the equation cos(35) =a/25 can be used to find the length of bc what is the length of bc? round to the nearest tenth

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
