[Attachment 1]

Diag 1 is the basic sketch for the situation. We have to find BT.

In this case you are to use the cos rule.

a2 = b2 + c2 - 2bc . cos A

[Attachment 2]

I have renamed to points so that it fits the equation.

a2 = b2 + c2 - 2bc . cos A


a2 = 1952 + 1702 - 2 * 170 * 195 * cos 10

a2 = 66925 - 66300 . cos10

a =

a = 40.4 m

Hope you get it. I have a bad way of explaining. :P ;)
