1. Problem Description

The problem involves solving a triangle given the following information:
a=7.82a = 7.82 cm, b=14.35b = 14.35 cm, and angle B=115120=117B = 115^{\circ} 120'' = 117^{\circ}.
First, the angle A is calculated using the Law of Sines.
Second, the angle C is calculated. Then, the side c is calculated using Law of Sines.

2. Solution Steps

First, we use the Law of Sines to find angle AA:
asinA=bsinB\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B}
7.82sinA=14.35sin117\frac{7.82}{\sin A} = \frac{14.35}{\sin 117^{\circ}}
sinA=7.82sin11714.35\sin A = \frac{7.82 \sin 117^{\circ}}{14.35}
A=arcsin(7.82sin11714.35)A = \arcsin(\frac{7.82 \sin 117^{\circ}}{14.35})
A=arcsin(0.4874)A = \arcsin(0.4874)
A29.16A \approx 29.16^{\circ}
The handwritten notes shows A as approximately equal to 28.128.1^{\circ}. The value obtained in the image is A=28.11306998A = 28.11306998, so it has been rounded to 28.128.1^{\circ}.
Second, we calculate 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=18028.1117C = 180^{\circ} - 28.1^{\circ} - 117^{\circ}
C=34.9C = 34.9^{\circ}
Next, we calculate side cc using the Law of Sines:
csinC=bsinB\frac{c}{\sin C} = \frac{b}{\sin B}
csin34.9=14.35sin117\frac{c}{\sin 34.9^{\circ}} = \frac{14.35}{\sin 117^{\circ}}
c=14.35sin34.9sin117c = \frac{14.35 \sin 34.9^{\circ}}{\sin 117^{\circ}}
c=14.35(0.5721)0.891c = \frac{14.35(0.5721)}{0.891}
c9.21c \approx 9.21 cm

3. Final Answer

A=28.1A = 28.1^{\circ}
C=34.9C = 34.9^{\circ}
c=9.21c = 9.21 cm
