Answer:


AB = 8.38

Explanation:

Given


AC = 9


BC =10


\angle B = 52

Required

Determine AB

This question will be answered using the cosine law.


(AB)^2 = (AC)^2 + (BC)^2 - 2(AC)(BC)\ \cos \angle B

Substitute the expected values


(AB)^2 = 9^2 + 10^2 - 2 * 9 * 10 * cos(52)


(AB)^2 = 81 + 100 - 180* cos(52)


(AB)^2 = 181 - 180* cos(52)


(AB)^2 = 181 - 180* 0.6157


(AB)^2 = 70.174

Take square roots of both sides


AB = \sqrt{70.174


AB = 8.38 -- approximated
