Law of cosines \[c^{2} = a^{2}+b^{2}-2ab \cos \theta\] where theta is always included angle opposite of side c
yea but i m getting a negative answer..
like...\[c ^{2}=(3)^{2}+(2\sqrt{2})^{2}-2(3)(2\sqrt{2})(3\lambda/4)\]
c^2=9+8-39.98 c=N/A

check your cos(theta)....if theta > 90 then it will be neg
ohh okay..
so its c^2=9+8+39.98 c^2=56.98 c=7.548 <-- correct?
no the 39.98 is way too big
remember c< a+b --> c < 5.83

hmmm...
did you take cos(3pi/4) ? looks like you just plugged in 3pi/4
i got that answer..!! :)
so its like \[c ^{2}=3^{2}+2\sqrt{2})^{2}-2(3)(2\sqrt{2})(-\sqrt{2}/2)\]
c^2=9+8+12 c=5.385165
