We are given a triangle $ABC$ with side $b = 14.35$ cm, side $a = 7.82$ cm, and angle $B = 115^{\circ} 120'$ . Since $120' = 2^{\circ}$, $B = 115^{\circ} + 2^{\circ} = 117^{\circ}$. We are asked to solve the triangle completely, which means finding all the angles and sides.

1. Problem Description

We are given a triangle ABCABC with side b=14.35b = 14.35 cm, side a=7.82a = 7.82 cm, and angle B=115120B = 115^{\circ} 120' . Since 120=2120' = 2^{\circ}, B=115+2=117B = 115^{\circ} + 2^{\circ} = 117^{\circ}. We are asked to solve the triangle completely, which means finding all the angles and sides.

2. Solution Steps

First, we use the Law of Sines to find angle AA:
asinA=bsinB\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B}
sinA=asinBb\sin A = \frac{a \sin B}{b}
sinA=7.82sin(117)14.35\sin A = \frac{7.82 \sin(117^{\circ})}{14.35}
sinA=7.82×0.891014.35=6.967614.350.4856\sin A = \frac{7.82 \times 0.8910}{14.35} = \frac{6.9676}{14.35} \approx 0.4856
A=arcsin(0.4856)29.05A = \arcsin(0.4856) \approx 29.05^{\circ}
Next, we find angle CC using the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180180^{\circ}:
A+B+C=180A + B + C = 180^{\circ}
C=180ABC = 180^{\circ} - A - B
C=18029.05117C = 180^{\circ} - 29.05^{\circ} - 117^{\circ}
C=180146.05=33.95C = 180^{\circ} - 146.05^{\circ} = 33.95^{\circ}
Finally, we use the Law of Sines again to find side cc:
csinC=bsinB\frac{c}{\sin C} = \frac{b}{\sin B}
c=bsinCsinBc = \frac{b \sin C}{\sin B}
c=14.35sin(33.95)sin(117)c = \frac{14.35 \sin(33.95^{\circ})}{\sin(117^{\circ})}
c=14.35×0.55880.8910=8.01850.89108.9999.00c = \frac{14.35 \times 0.5588}{0.8910} = \frac{8.0185}{0.8910} \approx 8.999 \approx 9.00 cm

3. Final Answer

A29.05A \approx 29.05^{\circ}
C33.95C \approx 33.95^{\circ}
c9.00c \approx 9.00 cm
