Law of sines
a/sin A=a/sin 72.4=a/0.9532
b/sin B=3.8/sin 68.9(angles sum to 180)=4.0731
c/sin C=c/sin 38.7=c/0.6252
c=0.6252*4.073=2.55
a=3.88
B

.
First of all, angle B = 180° - 72.4° - 38.7° = 68.9°.

Now, apply the Law of sines (see the lesson Law of sines in this site)

= ,

which gives you

= .

Find "a" from here: a = .

Use your calculator.

Similar procedure works for "c".
