In a triangle, if \(b=20, c=21\) and \(\sin A=\frac{3}{5}\), then \(a\) is equal to :

  1. A 12
  2. B 13
  3. C 14
  4. D 15
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 13

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(b=20, c=21\) and \(\sin A=\frac{3}{5}\) Now, \(\cos ^2 A=1-\sin ^2 A=1-\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^2\) \(=1-\frac{9}{25}=\frac{16}{25}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \cos A=\frac{4}{5}\) Now, \(\cos A=\frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2 b c}\)…
