side of a scalene

Postby Motherof8 on Wed Apr 25, 2012 3:56 pm

How does one find the measure of a side on a triangle that is not a right triangle, an isosceles, or an equilateral when one knows the measures of the angles and two of the sides? I would like an answer soon.

I'd use the Law of Sines for this.
