The measurements of triangle are
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Concept used:
Law of cosines:
Where,
Calculation:
With the help of the above diagram it is easy to get the three sides of triangle and non-included angle. So, with the help of the Law of cosines get the missing angle.
First consider
Law of cosines:
Where,
First substitute,
Now simplify,
Now solve for the
Now, get the value of
Similarly, use the law of cosine to get the measure of
First substitute,
Now simplify,
Now solve for the
Now, get the value of
