The Law of Sines relates the sine of each angle to the length of the opposite side.
x=16.1 and y=20.0
For any △ ABC, let the lengths of the sides opposite angles A, B, and C be a, b, and c, respectively.
Let's use this law to find the values of x and y. We will find them one at a time.
Consider the given triangle.
LHS * x=RHS* x
a* b/c=a*b/c
LHS * 14=RHS* 14
.LHS /sin 44.=.RHS /sin 44.

We can find the third interior angle using the Triangle Angle Sum Theorem. ∠ B=180- 53- 44= 83^(∘) Consider the triangle with the new information.
