Given

a=15

b=11

c=21

Find

all angles of the triangle

Step-by-step explanation

Using law of cosine to find angle A


\begin{gathered} A=\cos^(-1)\lbrack(b^2+c^2+a^2)/(2bc)] \\ =\cos^(-1)[(11^2+21^2-15^2)/(2*11*21)] \\ =43.29 \end{gathered}

Similarly


\begin{gathered} \angle B=30.1 \\ \angle C=106.7 \end{gathered}

Final Answer

option (b) is correct
