This variable doesn't seem to be used anywhere.

Advice

For part (a), the sine rule tells us that $\frac{\sin(A)}{a} = \frac{\sin(B)}{b}$,

so here $B = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\var{b}\times\sin(\var{angleA}^{\circ})}{\var{a}}\right)$.

For part (b), the angle sum of a triangle tells us that angle $C$ is given by $180^{\circ}-A-B = 180^{\circ} - \var{angleA}^{\circ} - \var{precround(angleB,1)}^{\circ}$.

Then we can use the area formula $|ABC| = \frac{1}{2} a b \sin(C)$, which in this case is $\frac{1}{2} \times \var{a} \times \var{b} \times \sin(\var{precround(angleC,1)}^{\circ})$.

For part (c), the cosine rule tells us that $c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab\cos(C)$,

so here $c = \sqrt{\var{a}^2+\var{b}^2 - 2 \times \var{a} \times \var{b} \times \cos(\var{precround(angleC,1)}^{\circ})}$.

It's also possible to use the sine rule or area rule to find $AB$ here.
