The answer is cupcake.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

law of cosines blah blah blah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, well, the missing side is a... the angle (the given angle) is A and the two given sides are b and c. Use the law of cosines, silly :) \[\Large a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \ \cos(A)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and as for which of the sides is b and c, it doesn't really matter :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, okay, it only matters if the angle opposite them is in question. here, the angles opposite the given sides aren't given any importance, you're not trying to find them or anything, so you can let any of those two sides be b or c.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and no, why did you rearrange? it's a^2 that belongs on the left side, silly :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't think so :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how'd you get 378.3788?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops okay, you're right ^.^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let's see what i can do ^.^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, name the angle. What do you want this given angle to be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. So the side opposite this angle will be called c, all right? what about the 3 and 4? Which one is a and which one is b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just choose, lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just so we can be on the same page.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
