Pseudo Code 1826622 Q 16

The document outlines a function 'findA' that calculates the length of side A in a triangle using the cosine law based on an angle alpha and the lengths of sides B and C. It includes steps for input validation and the calculation of A using trigonometric functions. The main function facilitates user input and displays the result rounded to two decimal places.

1.

Define a function findA(alpha, B, C) that takes an angle alpha


(in degrees), the length of side B, and the length of side C as
input.
2. Calculate the cosine of alpha in radians: cos_alpha =
cos(radians(alpha)).
3. Calculate the square of side A using the cosine law: A_squared
= B^2 + C^2 - 2 * B * C * cos_alpha.
4. Calculate the square root of A_squared to get the length of side
A: A = sqrt(A_squared).
5. Return the value of side A.
6. Define the main function:
7. Input the angle alpha (must be less than or equal to 90 degrees).
8. Input the length of side B (must be positive).
9. Input the length of side C (must be positive).

10.Call the findA function with alpha, B, and C as arguments.

11.Display the length of side A rounded to 2 decimal places.


12.Run the main function if the script is executed directly.
