Using the rules of cosines, the <span>measure of the turn between the second and third legs of the race</span> is given by

\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{180^2+160^2-140^2}{2\times180\times160} \right)=\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{32,400+26,600-19,600}{57,600} \right) \\  \\ =\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{39,400}{57,600} \right)=\cos^{-1}(0.6840)\approx47^o

Calculate the length of a triangle if another length is 15 feet and the hypotenuse is 39 feet.
Y_Kistochka [10]
We have to use Pythagorean theorem that says : 

a^2+b^2=c^2\\\Rightarrow a^2+15^2=39^2\\a^2=39^2-15^2\\a=\sqrt{1296}\\a=36

The missing length of the triangle is : 36 feet
