yes i do..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (welshfella):
use the Cosine rule
cos C = a^2 + b^2 - c^2
--------------
2ab
OpenStudy (welshfella):
(the side c is opposite < C , a oppositse <A and b is opposite angle B)

for cos C?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2.93 ... ? i am confused
OpenStudy (welshfella):
cos C = (12.5^2 + 15^2 - 11^2) / (2*12.5*15)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay.. 248 / 375 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@welshfella i do not think that is right

no its not
it should be 260.25 / (2*12.5* 15
what do you get that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry, first thing in the morning, takes a minuet to process. but 260.25 / 375 ??
OpenStudy (welshfella):
yea
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and cos would be .99968 which isnt an answer
OpenStudy (welshfella):
so to find angle C use cos-1 on your calculator.

it says error when i try
OpenStudy (welshfella):
260.25 / 375 = 0.694
