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

where A, B, and C are the angles of the triangle, and a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides opposite those angles.

Angles in a triangle add to
180^(\circ).


\angle B=180^(\circ)-115.5^(\circ)-27.2^(\circ) \longrightarrow \boxed{\angle B=37.3^(\circ)}

Using the Law of Sines:


(AC)/(\sin 37.3^(\circ))=(76.0)/(\sin 115.5^(\circ))\\\\\boxed{AC=(76\sin 37.3^(\circ))/(\sin 115.5^(\circ)) \text{ ft}}


(BC)/(\sin 27.2^(\circ))=(76.0)/(\sin 115.5^(\circ))\\\\\boxed{BC=(76\sin 27.2^(\circ))/(\sin 115.5^(\circ)) \text{ ft}}
