In a cyclic quadrilateral, given 3 sides and included angle between two of these sides, how to find fourth side?

Given 3 sides and angle included between 2 sides how to find fourth side of cyclic quadrilateral
PQ=a 2
QR=b 3    Radians Cos Sin
Angle PQR 135 2.356194 -0.70711 0.707107
RS=c 4 RS can not be greater than 2R
Find PR by cosine rule 21.48528 4.635222
2R = PR / Sin (angle PQR) 6.555194 So R= 3.277597
Find angle ROS by (1/2*RS)/R= Sin (1/2*Angle ROS) 0.610203 0.656317 37.6042 0.656317 0.792245 0.610203
1/2*Angle ROS=Angle RPS 37.6042
AngleRSP= 180 deg- Angle PQR (Reason- Oppo. Angle of cyclic quad. Are supplementary 45 82.6042 97.3958 97.3958
Find angle SRP by anglesum property of triangle 97.3958 1.699877 0.991681
Angle SOR = 2 x Angle SRP
1/2*SP/R= Sin(Angle SRP)
Thus SP can be found, in otherwordsSP can befoundby Sine Rule SP= 6.500658
Remember the constant of sine rule is 2xR
