Given:

The sides of the triangle ABC are given

a=7, c= 8 and b= 13.

To find

The angle C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find angle C , use the cosine rule.


c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos C

Substitute the values in the cosine rule.


8^2=7^2+13^2-2*7*13\cos C
64=49+169-182cosC
182\cos C=49+169-64
182\cos C=154
\cos C=(154)/(182)
C=\cos ^(-1)(0.846)=32.2^(\circ)

Answer :

Hence the angle C is obtained as 32.2 degree.
