Answer:

42.3

Explanation:

You want the length of side c opposite the 100° angle with sides 25 and 30 units in ∆ABC.

Law of cosines

The law of cosines formula is given as ...

c² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(C)

Using the given values, we find ...

c² = 25² +30² -2·25·30·cos(100°) ≈ 1785.47

c ≈ √1785.47 ≈ 42.3

The length of c is about 42.3 units.
