Sign In
Begin by using the Law of Cosines first and then the Law of Sines.
MN ≈ 48.8
m ∠ M ≈ 19
m ∠ N ≈ 28
Let's begin by color coding the opposite angles, sides, and the vertices in the given triangle. It will help us use the Law of Cosines and later the Law of Sines.
We will first find the length of the segment MN and then the measures of the missing angles, m ∠ M and m ∠ N one at a time.

Finally, to find m ∠ N we can use the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem. This tells us that the measures of the angles in a triangle add up to 180. 133+ 19+ m ∠ N= 180 ⇔ m ∠ N≈ 28
With all of the angle measures and side lengths, we can complete our diagram.
