1. Problem Description

We are given a triangle with angles AA, BB, and CC, and side lengths aa, bb, and cc. We are given the following information: C=124.4C = 124.4^\circ, B=25.6B = 25.6^\circ, and c=39.2c = 39.2 cm. We need to find the side length aa.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to find angle AA. The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180180^\circ, so:
A+B+C=180A + B + C = 180^\circ
A+25.6+124.4=180A + 25.6^\circ + 124.4^\circ = 180^\circ
A+150=180A + 150^\circ = 180^\circ
A=180150A = 180^\circ - 150^\circ
A=30A = 30^\circ
Now, we can use the Law of Sines to find the side length aa:
asinA=bsinB=csinC\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}
We have A=30A=30^\circ, C=124.4C=124.4^\circ, c=39.2c = 39.2 cm. We want to find aa, so we can use:
asinA=csinC\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{c}{\sin C}
asin30=39.2sin124.4\frac{a}{\sin 30^\circ} = \frac{39.2}{\sin 124.4^\circ}
a=39.2sin30sin124.4a = \frac{39.2 \cdot \sin 30^\circ}{\sin 124.4^\circ}
We know that sin30=0.5\sin 30^\circ = 0.5. We can calculate sin124.40.8258\sin 124.4^\circ \approx 0.8258.
a=39.20.50.8258a = \frac{39.2 \cdot 0.5}{0.8258}
a=19.60.8258a = \frac{19.6}{0.8258}
a23.73a \approx 23.73 cm

3. Final Answer

a23.73a \approx 23.73 cm
