This problem refers to triangle ABC.
If A = 57°, B = 53°, and c = 18 cm, find C and then find a. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
This has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the side "b," so IGNORE the other person's suggestion to find "b."

Now, since ∡s A and B were given, then it's obvious that ∡ C is 70o (180 - 57° - 53°)

Using the Law of Sines, we now get: 

a * sin 70° = 18 * sin 57° ------- Cross-multiplying
