Answer:

a = 94.8, B = 29.3°, C = 31.7°

Explanation:

Side 'a' can be found using the Law of Cosines:

a² = b² +c² -2bc·cos(A)

a = √(2809 +3249 -6042·cos(119°)) ≈ √8987.22 ≈ 94.8

Then one of the other angles can be found from the Law of Sines.

sin(C)/c = sin(A)/a

C = arcsin(c/a·sin(A)) ≈ arcsin(0.525874) ≈ 31.7°

Then the remaining angle can be found to be ...

B = 180° -A -C = 180° -119° -31.7° = 29.3°

__

The solution is a ≈ 94.8, B ≈ 29.3°, C ≈ 31.7°.
