1. **State the problem:** We have a triangle with angles 95° and 45°, and one side of length 8 opposite the 95° angle (side A). We need to find the remaining angle $a$ and the sides $a$ and $b$.
2. **Find the missing angle:** The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°.
$$a = 180 - 95 - 45 = 40$$
3. **Use the Law of Sines:**
$$\frac{a}{\sin(95^\circ)} = \frac{b}{\sin(45^\circ)} = \frac{8}{\sin(40^\circ)}$$
4. **Calculate side $a$ opposite 40°:**
$$a = \frac{8 \times \sin(40^\circ)}{\sin(95^\circ)}$$
5. **Calculate side $b$ opposite 45°:**
$$b = \frac{8 \times \sin(45^\circ)}{\sin(95^\circ)}$$
6. **Evaluate values:**
$$\sin(95^\circ) \approx 0.9962, \sin(40^\circ) \approx 0.6428, \sin(45^\circ) \approx 0.7071$$
7. **Calculate $a$:**
$$a = \frac{8 \times 0.6428}{0.9962} \approx \frac{5.1424}{0.9962} \approx 5.16$$
8. **Calculate $b$:**
$$b = \frac{8 \times 0.7071}{0.9962} \approx \frac{5.6568}{0.9962} \approx 5.68$$
**Final answers:**
- Missing angle $a = 40^\circ$
- Side $a \approx 5.16$
- Side $b \approx 5.68$
