### Solving Triangles: Example Problem

#### Problem 3

**Task:** Solve the triangle. Round to the nearest tenth when necessary or to the nearest minute as appropriate.

Below is an illustration of a triangle \( \triangle ABC \):

- **Angle at A:** \( 11.2^\circ \)
- **Angle at C:** \( 131.6^\circ \)
- **Side AC (opposite to angle B):**  88.2 ft

#### Choices:
1. **B = 37.2°, b = 28.3 ft, c = 23 ft**
2. **B = 36.8°, b = 272 ft, c = 339.6 ft**
3. **B = 37.2°, b = 274.6 ft, c = 339.6 ft**
4. **B = 37.2°, b = 339.6 ft, c = 274.6 ft**

### Diagram Explanation
The diagram shows a triangle with labeled angles and one given side:

- Angle A is 11.2°
- Angle C is 131.6°
- Side AC is 88.2 ft

### Calculations
To solve this triangle, we need to determine:
- Angle B (since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°): 
    \[
    B = 180^\circ - A - C = 180^\circ - 11.2^\circ - 131.6^\circ
    \]
- Using the Law of Sines to find:
  - Side b (opposite angle B),
  - Side c (opposite angle A).

Ensure to round your answers appropriately according to the instructions - to the nearest tenth for lengths and to the nearest minute for angles if required.

#### Summary
Choose the correct set of values for B, b, and c from the given options. Calculations involve basic trigonometry and application of the Law of Sines to find the unknown sides and angle of the triangle.
