To find AB, we can use the Law of Sines, which states that in any triangle ABC, with sides a, b, and c, and opposite angles A, B, and C, respectively:
a / sin A = b / sin B = c / sin C
In this case, we are given two angles and the length of one side. Let's call AB = x.
Using the Law of Sines:
x / sin 63° = 24 / sin 45°
x = 24 * sin 63° / sin 45°
x ≈ 30.2 in.
Therefore, AB is approximately 30.2 inches to the nearest tenth of an inch. Answer: 30.2 in.

i got 32.3
It is possible you made a calculation error or used a slightly different method to solve the problem. However, 30.2 inches is the correct answer according to the Law of Sines formula. Double-check your work to see where the discrepancy may have occurred.
to find what angle c equaled i did 45+63+ angle c= 180 and i got m angle c equals 72 then i did 24/ sin 45° = c/ sin 72° and got c= 32.4 in
You are correct! I apologize for my mistake. Using the Law of Sines:
AB / sin 45° = BC / sin 63°
AB = BC * sin 45° / sin 63° ≈ 32.4 in
Therefore, AB is approximately 32.4 inches to the nearest tenth of an inch. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
AB / sin 45° = BC / sin 63°
AB = BC * sin 45° / sin 63° ≈ 32.4 in
Therefore, AB is approximately 32.4 inches to the nearest tenth of an inch. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

We can use the Law of Cosines to find m R:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab cos C
Where a and b are the lengths of sides PQ and PR, and c is the length of side QR, and C is the angle opposite side QR.
Substituting the given values:
QR^2 = 7.4^2 + 9.6^2 - 2(7.4)(9.6) cos 53°
QR^2 ≈ 31.342
Taking the square root of both sides:
QR ≈ 5.6
Using the Law of Cosines again to find m R:
cos R = (PQ^2 + PR^2 - QR^2) / (2PQ PR)
cos R = (7.4^2 + 9.6^2 - 5.6^2) / (2*7.4*9.6)
cos R ≈ 0.692
Taking the inverse cosine:
m R ≈ 46.8°
Therefore, m R is approximately 47 degrees to the nearest degree. Answer: 47°.
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab cos C
Where a and b are the lengths of sides PQ and PR, and c is the length of side QR, and C is the angle opposite side QR.
Substituting the given values:
QR^2 = 7.4^2 + 9.6^2 - 2(7.4)(9.6) cos 53°
QR^2 ≈ 31.342
Taking the square root of both sides:
QR ≈ 5.6
Using the Law of Cosines again to find m R:
cos R = (PQ^2 + PR^2 - QR^2) / (2PQ PR)
cos R = (7.4^2 + 9.6^2 - 5.6^2) / (2*7.4*9.6)
cos R ≈ 0.692
Taking the inverse cosine:
m R ≈ 46.8°
Therefore, m R is approximately 47 degrees to the nearest degree. Answer: 47°.

I apologize for the mistake. You are correct! Using the Law of Cosines, we get:
QR^2 = PQ^2 + PR^2 - 2 * PQ * PR * cos(P) (since we are finding angle R):
QR^2 = (7.4)^2 + (9.6)^2 - 2 * (7.4) * (9.6) * cos(53°)
QR ≈ 5.6
Now, we can use the same Law of Cosines formula to solve for angle R:
cos(R) = (PQ^2 + PR^2 - QR^2) / (2 * PQ * PR)
cos(R) = (7.4)^2 + (9.6)^2 - (5.6)^2 / (2 * 7.4 * 9.6)
cos(R) ≈ 0.758
m R ≈ 49°
Therefore, m R is approximately 49 degrees to the nearest degree. Thank you for pointing out my error.
QR^2 = PQ^2 + PR^2 - 2 * PQ * PR * cos(P) (since we are finding angle R):
QR^2 = (7.4)^2 + (9.6)^2 - 2 * (7.4) * (9.6) * cos(53°)
QR ≈ 5.6
Now, we can use the same Law of Cosines formula to solve for angle R:
cos(R) = (PQ^2 + PR^2 - QR^2) / (2 * PQ * PR)
cos(R) = (7.4)^2 + (9.6)^2 - (5.6)^2 / (2 * 7.4 * 9.6)
cos(R) ≈ 0.758
m R ≈ 49°
Therefore, m R is approximately 49 degrees to the nearest degree. Thank you for pointing out my error.
