Answer:


m\angle C=20^(\circ)\\m\angle B = 127^(\circ)\\b=37\\

Explanation:

The Law of Sines for any triangle is:


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

Let's solve for
m\angle C first:


(\sin33^(\circ))/(25)=(\sin (m\angle C))/(16),\\\sin (m\angle C)=(16\cdot \sin33^(\circ))/(25), \\m\angle C= \sin^(-1)((16\cdot \sin33^(\circ))/(25))\approx \fbox{$20^(\circ)$}

Since the sum of the interior angles in a triangle is always
180^(\circ), the measure of angle B is
m\angle B=180-33-20=\fbox{$127^(\circ)$}.

Now we can use to solve for side length
b:


(\sin33^(\circ))/(25)=(\sin 127^(\circ))/(b),\\b=(25\cdot \sin127^(\circ))/(\sin33^(\circ))\approx \fbox{37}.
