Given that measure of angle A = 72 degree

Given that measure of angle B = 16 degree


We know that sum of all angles of the triangle is 180 degree

A+B+C=180

72+16+C=180

88+C=180

C=180-88

C=92

Hence measure of angle C = 92 degree


Now we can use sine formula to find the missing side "a"


(a)/(\sin\left(A\right))=(b)/(\sin\left(B\right))=(c)/(\sin\left(C\right))


(a)/(\sin\left(A\right))=(c)/(\sin\left(C\right))


(a)/(\sin\left(72\right))=(61)/(\sin\left(92\right))


(a)/(0.951)=(61)/(0.99939)


(a)/(0.951)=61.037232712

a=61.037232712*0.951

a=58.0464083091

Hence final answer is approx a=58.05
