We are given a triangle $ABC$ with angle $B = 25^{\circ} 36'$ and angle $C = 124^{\circ} 24'$, and side $c = 39.2$ m. We are asked to solve the triangle completely, meaning we need to find the remaining angle $A$ and sides $a$ and $b$.

1. Problem Description

We are given a triangle ABCABC with angle B=2536B = 25^{\circ} 36' and angle C=12424C = 124^{\circ} 24', and side c=39.2c = 39.2 m. We are asked to solve the triangle completely, meaning we need to find the remaining angle AA and sides aa and bb.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to find angle AA. Since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180180^{\circ}, we have:
A+B+C=180A + B + C = 180^{\circ}
We are given B=2536B = 25^{\circ} 36' and C=12424C = 124^{\circ} 24'. Substituting these values into the equation, we get:
A+2536+12424=180A + 25^{\circ} 36' + 124^{\circ} 24' = 180^{\circ}
A+14960=180A + 149^{\circ} 60' = 180^{\circ}
Since 60=160' = 1^{\circ}, we have:
A+149+1=180A + 149^{\circ} + 1^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}
A+150=180A + 150^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}
A=180150A = 180^{\circ} - 150^{\circ}
A=30A = 30^{\circ}
Now we use the Law of Sines to find the lengths of sides aa and bb. The Law of Sines states:
asinA=bsinB=csinC\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}
We are given c=39.2c = 39.2 m, A=30A = 30^{\circ}, B=2536B = 25^{\circ} 36' and C=12424C = 124^{\circ} 24'.
First, we find side aa:
asinA=csinC\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{c}{\sin C}
asin30=39.2sin12424\frac{a}{\sin 30^{\circ}} = \frac{39.2}{\sin 124^{\circ} 24'}
a=39.2sin30sin12424a = \frac{39.2 \cdot \sin 30^{\circ}}{\sin 124^{\circ} 24'}
a=39.20.5sin12424a = \frac{39.2 \cdot 0.5}{\sin 124^{\circ} 24'}
a=19.6sin1242419.60.82523.757a = \frac{19.6}{\sin 124^{\circ} 24'} \approx \frac{19.6}{0.825} \approx 23.757 m
Next, we find side bb:
bsinB=csinC\frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}
bsin2536=39.2sin12424\frac{b}{\sin 25^{\circ} 36'} = \frac{39.2}{\sin 124^{\circ} 24'}
b=39.2sin2536sin12424b = \frac{39.2 \cdot \sin 25^{\circ} 36'}{\sin 124^{\circ} 24'}
b=39.20.4318sin12424b = \frac{39.2 \cdot 0.4318}{\sin 124^{\circ} 24'}
b=16.926560.82520.517b = \frac{16.92656}{0.825} \approx 20.517 m

3. Final Answer

A=30A = 30^{\circ}
a23.757a \approx 23.757 m
b20.517b \approx 20.517 m
