Answer:

√7 ≈ 2.646

Explanation:

The law of cosines is applicable. It tells you ...

c² = a² + b² - 2ab·cos(C) . . . . . where a, b, c are triangle side lengths, and angle C is opposite side c.

Filling in the given information, you have ...

c² = 2² + 3² - 2·2·3·cos(60°) = 4 + 9 - 12·(1/2) = 7

c = √7 ≈ 2.646

The length of the third side is √7, about 2.646 units.
