The triangle is an illustration of right-angled triangles

The other side lengths are (AB) 30.9 and (AC) 29.9

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{\angle A = 15^o}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{BC = 8}[/tex]

From the diagram (see attachment), length AC is calculated using the following tangent ratio

[tex]\mathbf{tan(A) = \frac{BC}{AC}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{tan(15) = \frac{8}{AC}}[/tex]

Make AC the subject

[tex]\mathbf{AC = \frac{8}{tan(15)}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{AC = 29.8564064606}[/tex]

Approximate

[tex]\mathbf{AC = 29.9}[/tex]

Length AB is calculated using the following sine ratio

[tex]\mathbf{sin(A) = \frac{BC}{AB}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{sin(15) = \frac{8}{AB}}[/tex]

Make AB the subject

[tex]\mathbf{AB = \frac{8}{sin(15)}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{AB = 30.9096264413}[/tex]

Approximate

[tex]\mathbf{AB = 30.9}[/tex]

Hence, the other side lengths are (AB) 30.9 and (AC) 29.9
