Step 1

We know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. So, we subtract the known angles B and C from 180. \[A = 180^{\circ} - B - C = 180^{\circ} - 42.88^{\circ} - 102.40^{\circ} = 34.72^{\circ}\] Show more…

Key Concepts

Law of Sines

The Law of Sines is a key trigonometric principle used to relate the sides and angles of any triangle. It states that the ratio of any side length to the sine of its opposing angle is constant for all three sides of the triangle. This law is particularly useful when solving triangles when given two angles and one side (AAS or ASA), allowing the calculation of unknown sides or angles.

Triangle Angle Sum Property

The Triangle Angle Sum Property is a fundamental concept in geometry which states that the sum of the interior angles of any triangle is always 180 degrees. This principle enables the determination of an unknown angle when the measures of the other two angles are known, and it plays a crucial role in triangle problem solving.
