Question

NO AI SOLUTION AI IS ALWAYS INCORRECT: solve with details, make sure your drawing and great accuracy also make sure to use one of the methods and state which one you used: 

sin = opp/hyp

cos = adj/hyp

tan = opp/adj

sinA/a = SinB/b = SinC/c

a/SinA = b/sinB = c/SinC

a^2 = b^2+c^2 - 2bcCosA

CosA = b^2+ c^2 - a^2
