well, the third angle is 180 - 25 - 40 = 115°
Use the sine law, and use the fact that the longest side is opposite the largest angle, and the smallest side is opposite the smallest angle
Make a sketch it will help to see that ....
x/sin 115 = 20/sin 25° , where x is the longest side
x = 20sin115/sin20 = ....
