Answer:

C = 133.33°

Explanation:

Apply the Law of Cosines to find angle C:


Cos(C) = (a^2 + b^2 - c^2)/(2ab)

Where,

a = 8.5 cm

b = 4.1 cm

c = 11.7 cm

Plug in the values


Cos(C) = (8.5^2 + 4.1^2 - 11.7^2)/(2*8.5*4.1)


Cos(C) = (-47.83)/(69.7)


Cos(C) = -0.6862


C = Cos^(-1)(-0.6862)

C = 133.33°
