we know that

A=110 degrees

B =27 degrees

c=6

step 1

Find out the measure of angle C

Remember that

The sum of the interior angles in any triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

so

A+B+C=180 degrees

substitute given values

110+27+C=180

137+C=180

C=180-137

C=43 degrees

step 2

Find out the length side a

Applying the law of sines


(c)/(sinC)=(a)/(sinA)

substitute given values


(6)/(s\imaginaryI n43^o)=(a)/(s\imaginaryI n110^o)

solve for a


\begin{gathered} a=\frac{6*s\mathrm{i}n110^o}{s\imaginaryI n43^o} \\ a=8.3\text{ units} \end{gathered}

step 3

Find out the length of side b

Apply the law of sines


(c)/(s\imaginaryI nC)=(a)/(s\imaginaryI nA)

substitute given values


(6)/(s\imaginaryI n43^o)=(b)/(s\imaginaryI n27^o)

solve for b


\begin{gathered} b=\frac{6*s\mathrm{i}n27^o}{s\imaginaryI n43^o} \\ b=4.0\text{ units} \end{gathered}
