Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question measure of two sides and and the angle between these sides of a triangle is given.

We have to calculate the measure of third side.

By applying cosine rule in the given triangle.

BC² = AB² + AC² - 2(AB)(AC)cos(A)

BC² = (18)² + (12)² - 2(18)(12)cos(62°)

BC² = 324 + 144 - 202.81

BC² = 265.19

BC = 16.28

BC ≈ 16 units

Therefore, Option C will be the correct option.
