first, to find B, use the Pythagorean Theorem:
A2+B2=C2
Isolate B2
B2=C2A2
B2=152112
B=104
B10.2 m
To find a, using the cosine ratio (assuming A is adj to agna):
cosa=AC=1115
a=cos(1)(1115)
43
To find b, subtract both other angles from 180 (since the sum of all angles in any triangle is 180):
b=180ac
b=1804390
b=47
Answer:
B10.2m.a43.b47
