What you're seeing here is 12 being multiplied by its reciprocal. 12 * 1/12 = 1. This is an example of a multiplicative inverse; a multiplicative inverse is when you multiply a number by its reciprocal (1 over the number).
The correct answer is:
A=4
B=5

Answer:

Either or can be used with any triangle...I personally find the law of sines is often more compact as in this case we can just say;
(sin115)/18=(sin40)/c (with no need for b or B as would be needed with the law of cosines...)
c=18(sin40)/(sin115)
c≈12.77
