I can't do anything with the address; so I'm guessing.
To figure any triangle 3 measurements are needed. I've got to label your measurments correctly.
Sides: a, b, c.
Angles: α, β, γ.
Vertical list shows opposite.
a=9.8
b=11.6
c=?
α=?
β=?
γ=82.4°
Figuring for side "c": a^2+b^2-2ab(cosγ)=c^2.
9.8^2+11.6^2-2*9.8*11.6(149.535)=200.53^.5=14.16
a/sinα=b/sinβ=c/sinγ
9.8/sinα=11.6/sinβ=14.16/.991=14.729
α=41.708
180-α-γ=β
β=180-41.708-82.4=55.892

I did this because when it comes to trigonometry; this is the way to label........ in reference to the formulas................ As for longest and widest; yes your right; meaning that side "c" is the longest. "γ"gamma is the widest............... So: "α"alpha is the shortest; which is opposite of side"a"................ "β" beta " " mid " " " "b".11/30/20
Since you are given two of the sides and an angle
You could possibly use the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosine to calculate your triangle
Look them up and give them a try.
What ever you get you should check to see if the requirements to form a triangle are met.
