Should the triangle be solved beginning with Law of Sines, or Laws of Cosines. Then solve the triangle and round to the nearest tenth. A=56 degrees, B=38 degrees, a=13.
------------------
Law of Sines:
b/sinB = a/sinA
b/sin(38) = 13/sin(56)
b = sin(38)
b = 9.65408...
-----------------
C = 180 - (56 + 38) = 86 degrees
-----------------
c = sin(86) = 15.6426...
