Answer:

Using the cosines law

Explanation:

So, we need to find the length of the other side, we will use the version of the Cosine Rule where a2 is the subject of the formula, which is given by, a2=b2+c2−2bccosA, Side a is the one we are trying to find. Sides band care the other two sides, and angle Ais the angle opposite side a. c2=a2+b2−2abcosC
