Explanation:

hi, this looks complicated, however, let's deal with it.

using sine rule,

we have,

a/sin A= c/sin C

4.83/sin 46= 5.5/sin C

cross multiply

4.83sin C=5.5sin 46

sin C= (5.5sin46)/4.83

sin C= 0.8191

C=sin inverse of 0.8191

C=54.99 approximately 55

since we have C, we can now find B to get b or rather AC

A+B+C=180. (sum of angles in a triangle)

46°+ B + 54.99°=180°

B+ 100.99°=180°

B°=180°-100.99°

B=79°

since we have B, we can find b or rather AC

using cosine rule,

b²=c²+a²-2 x c x a x cos B

b²= 5.5² + 4.83² - 2 x 5.5 x 4.83 x cos 79°

b²=30.25+23.33-53.13cos79

b²=53.58-10.14

b²=43.44

b=6.59 approximately 6.6
