Explanation:

Since we have three sides and trying to find an angle, use Law of Cosines


c = \sqrt{ {a}^(2) + {b}^(2) - 2ab * \cos(d) }

where c is

Solving for the angle d.


\cos {}^( -1 ) (( \frac{ {c}^(2) - {b}^(2) - {a}^(2) }{ - 2ab} ) = d

where d is in degrees

The angle d is the opposite of the side c.

It does not matter what a and b is(they can be either 4 or 5)

let

c=7

a=4

b=5


\cos {}^( - 1) ( ( - 1)/(5) ) = d

This angle must be within 0 and 180

We get


d = 101.54
