The Purkait triangle, located at the end of the femur (thigh bone), has been used to identify the gender of fragmented skeletal remains. See the figure. Given \( \overline{\mathrm{AB}}=34.7 \mathrm{~mm}, \overline{\mathrm{AC}}=50.2 \mathrm{~mm} \), and \( \mathrm{A}=89.2^{\circ} \), find the length of \( \overline{\mathrm{BC}} \). The length of \( \overline{B C} \) is approximately \( \mathrm{mm} \). (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
