06E-60. From the study list appears to be wrong. Its a geometry problem involving two law of sines and two law of cosines. I get 1.88, but it gets 1.84. Can someone work this problem out the correct way for me?

Zach,
When doing the law of sines the first time, consider using the supplement to the acute angle. That might be the problem.

Thanks! Got the answer. I definitely need to work with radians more because that thought just never crossed my mind. 1.41 radians just doesn't stick out like 81.3 degrees does. Thanks again!
