Answer

$c \approx13.16$ $A \approx31.6^\circ$ $B \approx 48.4^\circ$

Work Step by Step

1. Use the Law of Cosines, we have $c=\sqrt {7^2+10^2-2(7)(10)cos100^\circ}\approx13.16$ 2. Use the Law of Sines, we have $\frac{7}{sinA}=\frac{13.16}{sin100^\circ}$ and $A=sin^{-1}(\frac{7sin100^\circ}{13.16})\approx31.6^\circ$ 3. Thus $B=180-A-C\approx180-100-31.6=48.4^\circ$
