Where is remaining space?? You have two partitions and both used, if I am understanding this correctly.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GN … Partitions
You may use gparted for graphical interface, http://gparted.org/livecd.php

You will need to use it from rescue disc, as only unmounted partitions can be resized.
As you are resizing your root partition you probably may need to reinstall your bootloader, and modify fstab to reflect changes.
Take proper backup before doing anything, there is always risk of loosing data, so if it doesn't workout well be ready to reinstall.

No-one can tell you what your partition table is...
