Consider the following diagram 

Trigonometry homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Use the angle sum property to find the third angle.

P+Q+R=180°144°+18+R=180°162°+R=180°R=18°

Step 2

Use the law of sines

psin P=qsin Q=rsin R15sin 144°=qsin 18°=rsin 18°

 

r=15sin 18°sin 144°=15

q=15sin18°sin 144°=7.8

The sides of the triangle are 15,15,7.8
