using the Cosine rule in ΔSTU
let t = SU, s = TU and u = ST, then
t² = u² + s² - (2us cos T )
substitute the appropriate values into the formula
t² = 5² + 9² - (2 × 5 × 9 × cos68° )
= 25 + 81 - 90cos68°
= 106 - 33.71 = 72.29
⇒ t = ≈ 8.5 in → A
Call the weights of the two dogs 
and 
.
We know that Tripp weights 35lbs more than Rico, or:
We also know that the total weight of both dogs is 49lbs.:
Now, by substitution:
Rico weighs 7lbs.
Then:
Tripp weighs 42lbs.
