Answer:

71.49134 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Side a = 112

Side b = 99

Side c = 71.49134

Angle ∠A = 80.37° = 80°22'11" = 1.40272 rad

Angle ∠B = 60.63° = 60°37'49" = 1.0582 rad

Angle ∠C = 39° = 0.68068 rad

You can use sine to solve this exercise:
The sine law indicates that in any given triangle sin(angle)=opposite side/largest side
This way sin(39º)=x/112
Now you solve for x
X=112sin(39º)
X=70.5 approx.
