We can use the law of cosines here. ( remember, side b is opposite angle B) DEGREE MODE!

b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac cos(B)

16^2 = 10^2 + 12^2 - 2(10)(12) cos(B)

256 = 244 - 240(cos B )

12 = -240(cos B )

-0.05 = cosB

arcos(-0.05) = B

B = 93 degrees

Triangle ABC is a right triangle. If side AC is 7 units and side BC is 10 units what is the measure of side AB?

By using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle if side AB is the hypotenuse it is the square root of 149 which is about 12.207 rounded to three decimal places


In triangle ABC with right angle at C if a equals 10 cm and angle B equals 59 degrees then c equals 11.67 cm Rounded-off to two decimals?

Absolutely not!If C is the right angle, then by conventional notation, c is the hypotenuse and so is the longest side!

This is a scalene triangle as it has no equal sides or angles. It is not a right angle triangle.


Must a triangle with two acute angles be a right angle?

No. For example, say the two angles are 10° and 20°. Then the other angle is 180°-10°-20°=150° and that is not a right angle. But if the triangle has two equal acute angles of 45 degrees then the 3rd angle must be 90 degrees which will form a right angle triangle.


What are the angles inside a triangle having dimensions of 1 dm by 120 mm by 9 cm?

Let the dimensions be 10 cm by 12 cm by 9 cm and call them abc with their opposite angles being ABC:- Using the cosine rule angle A = 54.64 degrees Using the cosine rule angle B = 78.14 degrees Angle C: 180 -54.64 -78.14 = 47.22 degrees
