You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The sine rule is:
%28a%2Fsin%28A%29%29+=+%28b%2Fsin%28B%29%29+=+%28c%2Fsin%28C%29%29
Take your information and plug it in to get:
%28a%2Fsin%2835%29%29+=+%2827%2Fsin%2858%29%29
Now, cross multiply to get
a%2Asin%2858%29+=+27%2Asin%2835%29
a+=+27%2Asin%2835%29%2Fsin%2858%29
using trig tables you will get the answer.
