Given the diagram, we have:


\alpha=180-90-72=18

Then, we use the law of sine:


(a)/(\sin\alpha)=(c)/(\sin c)

Substitute the values:


(a)/(\sin18)=(9.2)/(\sin90)

And solve for a:


\begin{gathered} a=\sin18*(9.2)/(\sin90) \\ a=2.8 \end{gathered}

For b:


\begin{gathered} (b)/(\sin\beta)=(c)/(\sin C) \\ (b)/(\sin72)=(9.2)/(\sin90) \\ b=\sin72*(9.2)/(\sin90) \\ b=8.7 \end{gathered}

Answer:


\begin{gathered} \alpha=18° \\ a=2.8 \\ b=8.7 \end{gathered}
