Given the triangle below what is the length of the third side rounded to the nearest whole number class=

Respuesta :

Wouldn't it be 19 also

Answer:

the length of third side is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use Law of Cosine to find the third side of the triangle.

Law of Cosine is given by

[tex]a^2=b^2+c^2-2bc\cosA[/tex]

Substituting the known values, we get

[tex]a^2=12^2+19^2-2\cdot12\cdot19\cos56[/tex]

On simplifying, we get

[tex]a^2=505-456\cos56\\\\a^2=250.008\\\\a=15.81[/tex]

When rounded to nearest whole number, the length of third side is 16.
