Base Leg

How do I find length of a right triangle’s base, given 2 angles and one leg?
Given a right triangle with Angle A=25 deg, Angle C=90 Degrees, and knowing the length of the leg opposite angle A equals 4 inches, how do I find the length of the base leg of the triangle? (Of course, Angle B=55 degrees, taking 180-(A+C))
I know it has something to do with the law of sines or whatnot, but I cannot remember the specific formulas. This will be used in an equation to calculate distance between viewer and an object.
Doh, temporary idiot moment. 180-(A+C) in this question’s numbers is supposed to equal 65, but I had a moment of stupidity. Whoopsie!
1st method :
tan A = 4 / b, where b = base leg
tan 25 = 4 / b
b = 4 / tan 25 = 8.58 in
2nd method : law of sines
4 / sin A = b / sin 65
b = 4 * sin 65 / sin 25
b = 8.58 in
