    A=43°

    B=82°

    c=28

    1) A+B+C=180°

    Replacing A=43° and B=82° in the equation above:

    43°+82°+C=180°

    125°+C=180°

    Solving for C. Subtracting 125° both sides of the equation:

    125°+C-125°=180°-125°

    C=55° (option B or C)

    2) Law of sines

    a/sin A=b/sin B=c/sin C

    Replacing A=43°, B=82°, C=55°, and c=28 in the equation above:

    a/sin 43°=b/sin 82°=28/sin 55°

    2.1) a/sin 43°=28/sin 55°

    Solving for a. Multiplying both sides of the equation by sin 43°:

    sin 43° (a/sin 43°) = sin 43° (28/sin 55°)

    a=28 sin 43° / sin 55°

    Using the calculator: sin 43°=0.681998360, sin 55°=0.819152044

    a=28 (0.681998360) / 0.819152044

    a=23.31185549

    Rounded to one decimal place

    a=23.3

    2.2) b/sin 82°=28/sin 55°

    Solving for a. Multiplying both sides of the equation by sin 82°:

    sin 82° (b/sin 82°) = sin 82° (28/sin 55°)

    b=28 sin 82° / sin 55°

    Using the calculator: sin 82°=0.990268069, sin 55°=0.819152044

    b=28 (0.990268069) / 0.819152044

    b=33.84903466

    Rounded to one decimal place

    b=33.8

    Answer: Option B) C=55°, b=33.8, a=23.3
