Math Problem Statement

Imagine that a is 5 feet, b is 21 feet, and c is 18 feet. If angle B is 55 degrees, find angle C. Round your answer to the nearest degree.

Solution

To solve this problem, we can use the Law of Cosines and Law of Sines to find the unknown angle CC.

Step 1: Use the Law of Cosines to find the third side, cc.

We can start by finding angle CC using the Law of Sines or Law of Cosines.

Step 2: Using Law of Cosines
