hi!! this is the problem i cant seem to get through today:

 

In triangle $ABC,$ $\angle BCA = \frac{\pi}{6}, AB = 4$ and $AC = 10$.

 

Find the sum of all distinct possible values of $BC.$ If there are no possible values, enter $0$.

 

ive done th eprevious like four parts of the problem but this part is really confusing to me and i just keep getting it wrong. thank you sooo so much in advance for the help!!! :) <3

Hello heartSTORM907!

 

There is no result for the distance BC.

\(\overline{BC}\in \{\}\\ \sum(\ \overline{BC}\ )=0\ as\ specified\ in\ the\ task.\)

angle BCA =  30°

 

Using the Law of Sines

 

sin BCA / AB  = sin ABC / 10

 

sin (30°) / 4 =  sin ABC /10

 

(1/2) / 4  = sin ABC /10

 

(1/8)  = sin ABC  /10

 

(10/8) = sin ABC

 

(5/4)  = sin ABC        { impossible}

 

cool cool cool
