Answer

$ \angle A=70^{\circ}$ $a=109.7$ and $b=20.3$

Work Step by Step

I. Need to find the last angle. $\angle A+10^{\circ}+100^{\circ}=180^{\circ}$ $\implies \angle A=70^{\circ}$ II. Use law of sines formula to find $a$ and $b$ $\dfrac{\sin 70^{\circ}}{a}=\dfrac{\sin 10^{\circ} }{b}=\dfrac{\sin 100^{\circ} }{115}$ This implies that $a=\dfrac{115 \sin 70^{\circ} }{\sin 100^{\circ}}=109.7$ and $b=\dfrac{115 \sin 10^{\circ} }{\sin 100^{\circ}}=20.3$
