Answer:

  c = 29, A = 48°, B = 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

The unknown side is c. Using the last Law of Cosines formula, we find it to be ...

  c² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(C)

  c² = 22² +24² -2(22)(24)cos(78°) ≈ 840.445

  c ≈ √840.445 ≈ 29 . . . . . rounded to integer

__

The angle at B can be found using the Law of Sines. We want the angle in the numerator, so we can write the equation as ...

  sin(B)/b = sin(C)/c

  B = arcsin(b/c·sin(C)) ≈ arcsin(24/28.9904×sin(78°))

  B ≈ 54°

The remaining angle can be found using the sum of angles of a triangle:

  A +B +C = 180°

  A = 180° -B -C = 180° -54° -78° = 48°

The solution to the triangle is ...

  c = 29, A = 48°, B = 54°
