The value of a, b and <A are 17.4, 119.3 and 42 degrees respectively
Trigonometry identity
From the given right angles triangle, we have the following parameters;
<A + 48 + 90 = 180 (sum of angles in a triangle)
<A =180 - 138
<A = 42 degrees
Using the SOH CAH TOA identity
sin48 = b/26
b = 26sin48
b = 19.3
For the value of a
sin42 = a/26
a = 26sin42
a = 19.3
a =17.4
Hence the value of a, b and <A are 17.4, 119.3 and 42 degrees respectively
