1. Problem Description

We are given a triangle ABCABC with C=96.2C = 96.2^{\circ}, b=11.2b = 11.2 cm, and c=39.4c = 39.4 cm. We are asked to find the other angles and side length. We will use the Law of Sines.

2. Solution Steps

The Law of Sines states:
asinA=bsinB=csinC\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}
We can use the Law of Sines to find sinB\sin B:
bsinB=csinC\frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}
sinB=bsinCc\sin B = \frac{b \sin C}{c}
sinB=11.2sin(96.2)39.4\sin B = \frac{11.2 \sin(96.2^{\circ})}{39.4}
sinB=11.2×0.994039.4\sin B = \frac{11.2 \times 0.9940}{39.4}
sinB=11.132839.4=0.28256\sin B = \frac{11.1328}{39.4} = 0.28256
B=arcsin(0.28256)16.39B = \arcsin(0.28256) \approx 16.39^{\circ}
Now we can find angle AA using the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180180^{\circ}:
A+B+C=180A + B + C = 180^{\circ}
A=180BCA = 180^{\circ} - B - C
A=18016.3996.2A = 180^{\circ} - 16.39^{\circ} - 96.2^{\circ}
A=180112.59A = 180^{\circ} - 112.59^{\circ}
A=67.41A = 67.41^{\circ}
Now we can find side aa using the Law of Sines:
asinA=csinC\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{c}{\sin C}
a=csinAsinCa = \frac{c \sin A}{\sin C}
a=39.4sin(67.41)sin(96.2)a = \frac{39.4 \sin(67.41^{\circ})}{\sin(96.2^{\circ})}
a=39.4×0.92330.9940a = \frac{39.4 \times 0.9233}{0.9940}
a=36.3780.9940a = \frac{36.378}{0.9940}
a36.60a \approx 36.60 cm

3. Final Answer

A=67.41A = 67.41^{\circ}
B=16.39B = 16.39^{\circ}
a=36.60a = 36.60 cm
