Answer

$c\approx98.5\, cm$

Work Step by Step

$A=43^{\circ}, B=12^{\circ},b=25\, cms.$ So, $C=180^{\circ}-(A+B)=180^{\circ}-(43^{\circ}+12^{\circ})=180^{\circ}-55^{\circ}=125^{\circ}$ Using laws of sines, $\frac{sinB}{b}=\frac{sinC}{c}$ $\frac{\sin12^{\circ}}{25}=\frac{\sin125^{\circ}}{c}$ $c=\frac{sin125^{\circ}}{sin12^{\circ}}\times25\,cms$ so, $c\approx98.5\, cms$
