1 when you evaluate sin( 20 degrees) one obtains 0.349 and 3 times this is 1.026 which is greater than 1. However cos (2x) can only run from 1 to -1 in this range no matter the value of the arguement. So one of two things has happened. the equation given is incorrect or there is no x for which this equation is true.
Draw the triangle with B-C on the horizontal axis so that A is above the line of B-C.
