Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the length side a

Applying the law of cosines

substitute the given values

step 2

Find the measure of angle B

Applying the law of sines

substitute the given values

step 3

Find the measure of angle C

Remember that the sum of the interior angles in any triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

so

substitute the given values

3: 2

step-by-step explanation:
