The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°. We have two angles, 35° and 112°. The third angle is 180° - 35° - 112° = 33°.
Step 2: Use the Law of Sines
The Law of Sines states that the ratio of the length of a side to the sine of its opposite angle is constant for all sides and angles in a triangle. In our case:
x / sin(35°) = 45 / sin(112°)
Step 3: Solve for x
x = 45 * sin(35°) / sin(112°)
x ≈ 45 * 0.5736 / 0.9272
x ≈ 27.7
