Did you make a diagram?
I see a triangle with sides 2 and 3 and the contained angle as 135º, let the side opposite that angle be x
I see the cosine law.
x^2 = 2^2 + 3^2 - 2(2)(3)cos 135
= 4 + 9 - 12(-√3/2)
= ....
x = √....
then use the sine law to find the angle at the origin
sin A/3 = sin 135/x
....
