To use the Law of Sines, we first need to set up the relationship using the given information. According to the Law of Sines:
\[
\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C}
\]
We have \(A = 55^\circ\) and \(a = 450 \text{ km}\). However, we don't have the measures of \(B\) and \(C\) or any other information about side \(b\).
Since we need to find side \(c\), we need at least one more angle or side length to compute \(c\) accurately. Without additional information, we cannot directly calculate the length of side \(c\).
If you have additional information, such as angles \(B\) or \(C\) or side \(b\), please provide it, and we can solve for side \(c\). If not, the problem cannot be solved as stated.
