Solution

To find angle CAB in triangle ABC, we can use the Law of Sines. The Law of Sines states that the ratio of the length of a side of a triangle to the sine of the angle opposite that side is the same for all three sides of the triangle.

Here's how you can apply it:

  1. First, let's denote angle CAB as α. We know that BC = 8.3 cm, AC = 13.5 cm, and angle ABC = 32°.

  2. According to the Law of Sines, we have sin(ABC)/BC = sin(CAB)/AC.

  3. Substituting the known values, we get sin(32°)/8.3 = sin(α)/13.5.

  4. Solving for sin(α), we get sin(α) = (sin(32°) * 13.5) / 8.3.

  5. To find α, we take the inverse sine (sin^-1) of the result from step 4.

  6. Therefore, α = sin^-1[(sin(32°) * 13.5) / 8.3].

  7. Use a calculator to compute this value. Make sure your calculator is set to degrees, not radians.

This will give you the measure of angle CAB in degrees.
