Better labeling or variable choices:
A, 11 degrees 42 minutes
B, unknown angle
C, 90 degrees
a, unknown side
b, unknown side
c, 201 feet

B=180-90-11%2642%2F60; highlight%28B=78.3%2Adegrees%29;

Use Law Of Sines for a and b.

sin%2811.7%29%2Fa=sin%2890%29%2F201

a%2Fsin%2811.7%29=201%2F1

a=201%2Asin%2811.7%29

highlight%28a=40.8%29
