color(blue)(hat B = 13.45^@, hat C = 31.55^@, a = 12.16

Explanation:

enter image source here

hat A = 135, b = 4, c = 9

Applying law of Cosines,

a = sqrt(4^2 + 9^2 - (2 * 4 * 9 * cos 135)) = 12.16

Applying law of sines,

enter image source here

hat B = sin ^-1 ((sin 135 * 4)/12.16) = 13.45

hat C = 180 - 135 - 13.45 = 31.55^@
