Final answer:

To find the length of side b in a triangle with given angles and side lengths, we can use the Law of Sines. Solving for b, we find that b ≈ 18.67

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of side b in triangle ABC, we can use the Law of Sines the same for all three sides.

We can set up the following equation:

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

Substituting the given values, we have:

sin(25°) / 10.73 = sin(55°) / b

Solving for b, we find that b ≈ 18.67
