Answer

$b \approx 55.98$ and $c \approx 57.96$ $ A=15^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

Here, $\tan B=\dfrac{b}{a}$ This gives: $\tan 75^{\circ}=\dfrac{b}{15} \implies b \approx 55.98$ Now, $\sin A=\dfrac{a}{c}$ This gives: $\sin 75^{\circ}=\dfrac{15}{c} \implies c \approx 57.96$ Since the sum of a triangle is $180^{\circ}$ and the right angle is $90^{\circ}$: $ A=180^{\circ}-75^{\circ}-90^{\circ}=15^{\circ}$
