To find the value of \( s \) in the triangle, we can use the information provided: a triangle with sides \( 3s \) and \( 9s \), and an angle of \( 36^\circ \). However, it seems we're missing some crucial information regarding the positioning of the sides and angles.
Assuming that \( 3s \) and \( 9s \) are the two sides adjacent to the \( 36^\circ \) angle, we can apply the Law of Sines or the Law of Cosines. Since we don't have enough information for an exact method, I will first demonstrate how you would apply these laws and then I'll provide you an example of how to set it up.
If we're using the Law of Sines, it states that:
\[
\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}
\]
Where \( a, b, c \) are the lengths of the sides opposite their respective angles \( A, B, C \).
Let's assume we're looking for an angle \( B \) opposite the side \( 9s \) and a side \( 3s \) opposite to \( 36^\circ \):
Using the Law of Sines:
\[
\frac{3s}{\sin(36^\circ)} = \frac{9s}{\sin B}
\]
However, we still need to find \( \sin B \) or any other angle or relationship in the triangle which isn't possible without further details.
So, in order to provide you with a specific value for \( s \), I'll need additional details such as whether \( s \) is related to angle measures or if there are any other angles provided in the triangle.
Please provide more context or clarify the relationship between the values in your triangle.
