Suppose a triangle has two sides of length 42 and 35, and that the angle
between these two sides is 120. Which equation should you solve to find the
length of the third side of the triangle?

Answer:

  c = √(42² +35² -2·42·35·cos(120°))

Step-by-step explanation:

The third side can be found using the Law of Cosines. It will tell you ...

  c² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(C)

where C is the angle opposite the third side (c). For the given side lengths, then the third side can be found from ...

  c = √(42² +35² -2·42·35·cos(120°))
