I would use the law of sines
:
a/sin(A) = b/sin(B)
:
a and b are the lengths of two sides and A, B are the measures in degrees of the two angles opposite a, b
:
a/sin(A) = b/sin(B)
:
cross multiply the two fractions
:
a * sin(B) = b * sin(A)
:
sin(A)/sin(B) = a/b

====================
The Cosine Law can be used for this, but it's tedious.

Use the Law of Sines:
a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)
