Lengths of sides $color(crimson)(a = b = 2.7$ units

$hat A = pi/12, hat C = (5pi)/6, c = 27, a = ?, b = ?$

$hat B = pi - (5pi)/6 - pi/12 = pi /12$

It’s an isosceles triangle with sides a & b equal as angles are equal.

$a / sin A = b / sin B = c / sin C$

$a = b = (c sin A ) / sin C = (27 * sin (pi/12)) / sin ((5pi)/6)$

$color(crimson)(a = b = 2.7$ units

A triangle has sides A, B, and C. The angle between sides A and B is (5pi)/6(5pi)/6. If side C has a length of 27 27 and the angle between sides B and C is pi/12pi/12, what are the lengths of sides A and B?
