Answer

$B =105^\circ$ $b \approx4.72$, $c \approx1.67$

Work Step by Step

1. Find the third angle $B=180-55-20=105^\circ$ 2. Use the Law of Sines $\frac{4}{sin55^\circ}=\frac{b}{sin105^\circ}=\frac{c}{sin20^\circ}$ 3. $b=\frac{4sin105^\circ}{sin55^\circ}\approx4.72$, $c=\frac{4sin20^\circ}{sin55^\circ}\approx1.67$
