To solve these problems, we will use the Law of Sines or Law of Cosines as needed. Here's the step-by-step solution for each triangle:

### a) Triangle a
Given:
- Angle 78°
- Angle 32°
- Side opposite 32°: 8 cm

Since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, the third angle is:
\[
180° - 78° - 32° = 70°
\]

Using the Law of Sines:
\[
\frac{a}{\sin(78°)} = \frac{8}{\sin(32°)}
\]
Solving for \( a \):
\[
a = \frac{8 \times \sin(78°)}{\sin(32°)}
\]

### b) Triangle b
Given:
- Angle 105°
- Angle 40°
- Side opposite 105°: 10 cm

The third angle is:
\[
180° - 105° - 40° = 35°
\]

Using the Law of Sines:
\[
\frac{b}{\sin(40°)} = \frac{10}{\sin(105°)}
\]
Solving for \( b \):
\[
b = \frac{10 \times \sin(40°)}{\sin(105°)}
\]

### c) Triangle c
Given:
- Angle 35°
- Angle 110°
- Side opposite 35°: 74 mm

The third angle is:
\[
180° - 35° - 110° = 35°
\]

Using the Law of Sines:
\[
\frac{c}{\sin(35°)} = \frac{74}{\sin(110°)}
\]
Solving for \( c \):
\[
c = \frac{74 \times \sin(35°)}{\sin(110°)}
\]

### d) Triangle d
Given:
- Angle 48°
- Angle 50°
- Side opposite 50°: 6.2 cm

The third angle is:
\[
180° - 48° - 50° = 82°
\]

Using the Law of Sines:
\[
\frac{d}{\sin(48°)} = \frac{6.2}{\sin(50°)}
\]
Solving for \( d \):
\[
d = \frac{6.2 \times \sin(48°)}{\sin(50°)}
\]

Let's calculate these values now.The calculated lengths for each unknown side, correct to 3 significant figures, are:

- **a) \( a = 14.8 \) cm**
- **b) \( b = 6.66 \) cm**
- **c) \( c = 45.2 \) mm**
- **d) \( d = 6.02 \) cm**
