then hav A = 0.8950174 implies A = 142° 11` 20"
and hav B = 0.8152660 implies B = 129° 5` 22"
and hav C = 0.0057818 implies C = 8° 43` 19"
Solution :
sin A sin B
∵ =
sin a sin b
sin a . sin B
∴ sin A = = 0 .9951467
sin b
∴ A = 84 2 1′ 1 0 ′′

Another Solution using Napier's rules
Since b > c
Then we have the following
1 1 1
(b − c ) = 21 42′ cos (b − c ) = 0.9291325715 sin (b − c ) = .3697467573
2 2 2
1 1 1
(b + c ) = 134 30′ cos (b + c ) = −0.7009092643 sin (b + c ) = 0.7132504492
2 2 2
A A
cot = 1.267735283 cot = 1.267735283

1 1
∴ tan (B + C ) = −1.680523006 implies (B + C ) = 120 45 '17.57 '' → (1)
2 2
1 1
and tan (B − C ) = 0.6571899261 implies (B − C ) = 33 18' 45.05'' → (2)
2 2
by adding (1) and (2) we have
B = 154 4' 2.62''
by substracting (1) and (2) we have
C = 87 26' 32.52''
Finally use the sine rule to have a = 630 49'11.34''
