Solution : color(red)(b = 7.3681, c = 15.0987, hatC = 120^@b=7.3681,c=15.0987,ˆC=120

Explanation:

Given 2a = 10, hat A = 35, hat B = 25#

hatC = 180 - 35 - 25 = color(red)(120ˆC=1803525=120

Applying Law of Sines,

color(green)(a/sin A = b / sin B = c / sin CasinA=bsinB=csinC

b = (a sin B) / sin A = (10 * sin 25) / sin 35 = color(red)(7.3681b=asinBsinA=10sin25sin35=7.3681

c = (a sin C) / sin A = (10 sin 120) / sin 35 = color(red)(15.0987c=asinCsinA=10sin120sin35=15.0987
