 $\begin{matrix} Side & Angle \\ \begin{matrix} b = & 12 \\ c = & 13 \\ a = & 5 \end{matrix} & \begin{matrix} A = \\ B = \\ C = & 90 \end{matrix} \end{matrix}$

Step 1

Find $B$ .

The angle $B$ can be found using the inverse sine function.

$B = \arcsin (\frac{opp}{hyp})$

Substitute in the values of the opposite side to angle $B$ and hypotenuse $13$ of the triangle.

$B = \arcsin (\frac{12}{13})$

Evaluate $\arcsin (\frac{12}{13})$ .

$B = 67.38013505$

Step 2

Find the last angle of the triangle.

The sum of all the angles in a triangle is $180$ degrees.

$A + 90 + 67.38013505 = 180$

Solve the equation for $A$ .

Tap for more steps...

Add $90$ and $67.38013505$ .

$A + 157.38013505 = 180$

Move all terms not containing $A$ to the right side of the equation.

Tap for more steps...

Subtract $157.38013505$ from both sides of the equation.

$A = 180 - 157.38013505$

Subtract $157.38013505$ from $180$ .

$A = 22.61986494$

Step 3

These are the results for all angles and sides for the given triangle.

$A = 22.61986494$

$B = 67.38013505$

$C = 90$

$a = 5$

$b = 12$

$c = 13$
