how are we going to find the angles :(
You have a triangle p1XB...you can calculate P1X cause its the tentionib that string and XB is the tention in that respective string...so appy the cos rule...sorry I don't have the question in front of me so I might be confusing the labels. Anyway you can calculate the third angle by subtracting the calculated one frpm 90

i understamd that much that we have to apply Lamis theorem
Now i understand that 7.3/sin(90)=5.5/sin(X)...how do we find X??
marking scheme says 7.3/sin(90)=5.5/sin(90+a)...
why??...:X
