We are given a triangle $ABC$ with side $a = 7.82$ cm, side $b = 14.35$ cm, and angle $B = 115^\circ$. We need to solve the triangle, meaning we need to find the remaining angle $A$, angle $C$, and side $c$.

1. Problem Description

We are given a triangle ABCABC with side a=7.82a = 7.82 cm, side b=14.35b = 14.35 cm, and angle B=115B = 115^\circ. We need to solve the triangle, meaning we need to find the remaining angle AA, angle CC, and side cc.

2. Solution Steps

We can use the Law of Sines to find the angle AA:
asinA=bsinB\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B}
7.82sinA=14.35sin115\frac{7.82}{\sin A} = \frac{14.35}{\sin 115^\circ}
sinA=7.82sin11514.35\sin A = \frac{7.82 \cdot \sin 115^\circ}{14.35}
sinA=7.820.906314.35\sin A = \frac{7.82 \cdot 0.9063}{14.35}
sinA=7.088314.35\sin A = \frac{7.0883}{14.35}
sinA=0.4939\sin A = 0.4939
A=arcsin(0.4939)A = \arcsin(0.4939)
A29.60A \approx 29.60^\circ
Now we can find angle CC using the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180180^\circ:
A+B+C=180A + B + C = 180^\circ
C=180ABC = 180^\circ - A - B
C=18029.60115C = 180^\circ - 29.60^\circ - 115^\circ
C=35.40C = 35.40^\circ
Now we can use the Law of Sines again to find side cc:
csinC=bsinB\frac{c}{\sin C} = \frac{b}{\sin B}
csin35.40=14.35sin115\frac{c}{\sin 35.40^\circ} = \frac{14.35}{\sin 115^\circ}
c=14.35sin35.40sin115c = \frac{14.35 \cdot \sin 35.40^\circ}{\sin 115^\circ}
c=14.350.57930.9063c = \frac{14.35 \cdot 0.5793}{0.9063}
c=8.31340.9063c = \frac{8.3134}{0.9063}
c9.17c \approx 9.17 cm

3. Final Answer

A29.60A \approx 29.60^\circ
C35.40C \approx 35.40^\circ
c9.17c \approx 9.17 cm
