See explanation below

Explanation:

The sin rule states that #a/sinA=b/sinB=c/sinC# where a,b, c are the triangle legs and A,B, C are the angles

Using that formula, we have in our case

#29/sin49=32/sinB# transposing terms

#sinB=32·sin49/29=0.8327829851#

#arcsen 0.8327829851=56º23´8.5´´#

Then #C=180-(49+56º23´8,5´´)=74º 36´51.5´´#

And finally #29/sin49=c/(sin74º36´51.5´´)#

#c=37.04827#
