A=1.55(2dp)unit;B=1.55(2dp)unit;

Explanation:

The angle between sides A and B is c=(51806)=1500
The angle between sides B and C is a=(18012)=150
The angle between sides C and A is b=180(150+15)=150;C=3
Applying sine law;Asina=Bsinb=Csinc we get Asin15=3sin150orA=3(sin15sin150)=1.55(2dp)unit and similarly we get Bsin15=3sin150orB=3(sin15sin150)=1.55(2dp)unit {Ans]
