Question
Let AABC be a triangle with sides a, b and c and an angle
Y = 2(ACB) between the sides a and b. Prove that the Law of Cosines holds true
c²a² +6²-2ab cos y.
Hint: Introduce a coordinate system so that y is in a standard position, then
express coordinates and y of the vertex A(x, y) in terms of y and the use the
distance formula to compute c.
