1. Problem Description

Given a triangle ABCABC with side b=14.35b = 14.35 cm, side a=7.82a = 7.82 cm, and angle B=115120"=1152B = 115^\circ 120" = 115^\circ 2', we need to solve the triangle completely, which means finding the remaining side cc and angles AA and CC.

2. Solution Steps

First, let's convert the angle BB into decimal degrees:
B=115+260=115+260=115.0333B = 115^\circ + \frac{2'}{60'} = 115^\circ + \frac{2}{60}^\circ = 115.0333^\circ
We can use the Law of Sines to find angle AA:
asinA=bsinB\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B}
7.82sinA=14.35sin115.0333\frac{7.82}{\sin A} = \frac{14.35}{\sin 115.0333^\circ}
sinA=7.82sin115.033314.35\sin A = \frac{7.82 \cdot \sin 115.0333^\circ}{14.35}
sinA=7.820.906214.35=7.086714.350.4939\sin A = \frac{7.82 \cdot 0.9062}{14.35} = \frac{7.0867}{14.35} \approx 0.4939
A=arcsin(0.4939)29.59A = \arcsin(0.4939) \approx 29.59^\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=180AB=18029.59115.0333C = 180^\circ - A - B = 180^\circ - 29.59^\circ - 115.0333^\circ
C=180144.6233=35.376735.38C = 180^\circ - 144.6233^\circ = 35.3767^\circ \approx 35.38^\circ
Finally, we can find side cc using the Law of Sines again:
csinC=bsinB\frac{c}{\sin C} = \frac{b}{\sin B}
c=bsinCsinB=14.35sin35.3767sin115.0333c = \frac{b \cdot \sin C}{\sin B} = \frac{14.35 \cdot \sin 35.3767^\circ}{\sin 115.0333^\circ}
c=14.350.57870.9062=8.290.90629.15c = \frac{14.35 \cdot 0.5787}{0.9062} = \frac{8.29}{0.9062} \approx 9.15 cm

3. Final Answer

A29.59A \approx 29.59^\circ
C35.38C \approx 35.38^\circ
c9.15c \approx 9.15 cm
