Answer:

BC= 1.7101

Explanation:

The following is one way to perform the calculation. It may not be the best way.

Let a represent line BC, and b represent line CA, and c represent line AB.

b = c × sin(β)

= 4.69846


a = \sqrt{c^(2) -b^(2) } = √(52 - 4.69846310392952)= √( 2.9244444610128) = 1.7101
