use law of cosines here to geet result..can you show your work...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. i used the formula: a^2+b^2+c^2-2bc cos(a) which got me: a^2=15^2+12^2-2(15)(12) cos(110) that came out to be 493.1273516 when i calculated it. and since a^2 equals that number, i took the square root of 493.1273516 to get just a, which came out to be 22.18. @zaibali.qasmi
