Answer

$C=47^{\circ}$ $a=26.7$ and $b=64.3$

Work Step by Step

I. Need to find the last angle. $23^{\circ}+110^{\circ}+\angle C=180^{\circ}$ $\implies \angle C=47^{\circ}$ II. Use law of sines formula to find $a$ and $b$ $\dfrac{\sin 23^{\circ}}{a}=\dfrac{\sin 110^{\circ} }{b}=\dfrac{\sin 47^{\circ} }{50}$ This implies that $a=\dfrac{50 \sin 23^{\circ} }{\sin 47^{\circ}}=26.7$ and $b=\dfrac{50 \sin 110^{\circ} }{\sin 47^{\circ}}=64.3$
