You ignored the 10 minutes of the 63º angle
so A = 63.1667º which would slightly alter your angles.
However I tested your solution for the angles if A = 63 and the angles are correct for that version
your value of c is correct for A=63
why did you use the cosine law?
The Sine Law would have been easier.
