Answer:
√7 ≈ 2.646
Step-by-step explanation:
The law of cosines is applicable. It tells you ...
c² = a² + b² - 2ab·cos(C) . . . . . where a, b, c are triangle side lengths, and angle C is opposite side c.
Filling in the given information, you have ...
c² = 2² + 3² - 2·2·3·cos(60°) = 4 + 9 - 12·(1/2) = 7
c = √7 ≈ 2.646
The length of the third side is √7, about 2.646 units.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- In order to combine these two equations, an idea you need to keep in mind is finding a way of setting these equations as equal to each other. I saw that each equation shared a common value,
. In this case, we need to isolate
.
- With this, we now know that both
and
are equal to

- Hopefully this answer is correct AND makes sense in terms of how I achieved it. Again, reply to this with any questions or mistakes I made and I'll do my best to answer or fix them.
We have to check which of PEMDAS rules can be applied in this case. We have only ADDITION. In this case we can observe that addition is:
1. Associative
2. Commutative
3. has Additive property
