    Actually, when you know 2 sides and an included angle, you use the Law of Cosines. (and we don't know if theta is an included angle).

    Solving for side c

    c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab * cos (C)

    c^2 = 36 + 16 - 2*6*4 * cos (60)

    c^2 = 52 - 48*.5

    c^2 = 28

    c = 5.2915

    Using the Law of Sines

    side c / sin (C) = side b / sin (B)

    5.2915 / sin (60) = 4 / sin (B)

    sin (B) = sin (60) * 4 / 5.2915

    sin (B) = 0.86603 * 4 / 5.2915

    sin (B) = 3.46412 / 5.2915

    sin (B) = 0.6546571451

    Angle B = 40.894 Degrees

    sin (A) / side a = sin (B) / side b

    sin (A) = 6 * sin (40.894) / 4

    sin (A) = 6 * 0.65466 / 4

    sin (A) =.98199

    angle A = 79.109 Degrees

    angle C = 60 Degrees
