suppose a triangle has two sides of length 2 and 5 and that the angle between these two sides is 60 degrees. What is the length of the third side of the triangle? 5 , 2sq root 3, sq root 3, sq root 19

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]c=\sqrt{19}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation

Two sides and included angle is known to us .cosine rule can be applied to find the third side.

Let a =2 ,b=5 and <C=60 degrees ,we need to find the third side c.

According to cosine rule :

[tex]c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2} -2abcos C.[/tex]

Substituting the values we have:

[tex]c^{2}=2^{2} +5^{2} -2(2)(5)cos 60[/tex]

[tex]c^{2} =4+25-20 (\frac{1}{2} )[/tex]

[tex]c^{2} =29-10=19[/tex]

Taking root of both sides

[tex]c=\sqrt{19}[/tex]

The last option is correct.

Answer:

square root of 19 is the answer
