Answer:

a = 8.1

Explanation:

Firstly, since we have a triangle, automatically, we have 3 interior angles

Mathematically the sum of these angles = 180

A + B + C = 180

27 + 25 + C = 180

52 + C = 180

C = 180-52

C = 128

We use the sine rule to find a

The sine rule posits that the ratio of a side to the sine of the angle facing that side is equal for all the sides of a triangle

Thus, mathematically according to the sine rule;

c/Sin C = a/Sin A

14/sin 128 = a/sin 27

a = 14sin27/sin 128 = 8.0657

which to the nearest tenth is 8.1
