So, thats out triangle,

to find the angle formed by those two sides, we use the cosine function


\begin{gathered} (7)/(12)=\cos \theta \\ \theta=\cos ^(-1)((7)/(12))=54.31^o\text{ }\approx54.3^o\text{ to the nearest tenth} \end{gathered}

draw a right triangle that has leg with length 7 and a hypotenuse of 12. find the-example-1
