1. **State the problem:** We have a triangle with angles 84°, 47°, and angle A, and sides opposite these angles labeled as a, 25, and b respectively. We know angle A is 49° and side opposite 47° is 25. We need to find the length of side b, which is opposite angle A.
2. **Recall the Law of Sines:** The Law of Sines states that in any triangle,
$$\frac{a}{\sin 84^\circ} = \frac{25}{\sin 47^\circ} = \frac{b}{\sin 49^\circ}$$
3. **Use the Law of Sines to find side b:**
We can write
$$b = \frac{25 \times \sin 49^\circ}{\sin 47^\circ}$$
4. **Calculate the sine values:**
$$\sin 49^\circ \approx 0.7547$$
$$\sin 47^\circ \approx 0.7314$$
5. **Substitute and calculate b:**
$$b = \frac{25 \times 0.7547}{0.7314}$$
6. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$b = 25 \times \frac{0.7547}{0.7314}$$
7. **Calculate the division:**
$$\frac{0.7547}{0.7314} \approx 1.0317$$
8. **Calculate b:**
$$b = 25 \times 1.0317 = 25.7925$$
9. **Round to one decimal place:**
$$b \approx 25.8$$
**Final answer:** The length of side b is approximately 25.8.
