So, 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 angle
First substitute,
Now simplify,
Now solve for the
Now, get the value of
The sum of the angles of a triangle is
Hence, the measurements of triangle are
