attempt to apply cosine rule       M1

cos A = 5 2 + 11 2 14 2 2 × 5 × 11 = 0.4545

A = 117.03569

A = 117.0         A1

attempt to apply sine rule or cosine rule:       M1

sin 117.03569 14 = sin B 11

B = 44.4153

B = 44.4         A1

C = 180 A B

C = 18.5         A1

Note: Candidates may attempt to find angles in any order of their choosing.
