Use simple Unit Circle to help you be sure of the actual obtuse angle.

Make triangle so that at bottom is 45 degree, to the right is beta; the 28 foot opposite the 45 degree; and side of 36 is opposite of beta. At the top is alpha. At the base is unknown side "a", this side between the 45 degree and the beta.

NOTE: The obtuse angle is BETA. This means the 36 foot side is the longest side of this triangle.

Law Of Sines:

Do the steps.

------which is acute and not obtuse...
But this is NOT the beta you want. You want the sine that will ALSO be the same, but for the OBTUSE angle.
The angle you want, if manipulating the angle on the Unit Circle, is . Said better using degree measures, .

To find alpha, at the top vertex, use angle sum 180 degree for triangle.

Not finished completely but maybe you cand do the rest.
