AB is the longest side, so ∠C is the largest angle.
use law of cosine: 16²=9²+12²-2*9*12cosC
216cosC=81+144-256=-31
cosC=-0.14352
C≈98

Answer:

The measure of the largest angle in ΔABC = 98°

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest side in the given ΔABC is AB

And, The angle opposite to the longest side is largest

⇒ ∠C is the largest angle. in the ΔABC

So, we need to find the measure of ∠C

Now, Using law of cosine in the given ΔABC :

⇒ 16² = 9² + 12² - 2 × 9 × 12·cos C

⇒ 216·cos C = 81 + 144 - 256

⇒ 216·cos C = -31

⇒ cos C = -0.14352

⇒ m∠C ≈ 98°

Hence, The measure of the largest angle in ΔABC = 98°

Use pythagorean’s theorem
as you can see it’s a right isosceles triangle

so your equation is adapted to this:
p^2 + p^2=44^2
add like terms and simplify
2p^2=1936
divide by 2
p^2=968
square root
p= √968
simplify
p=22√2

the answer would be your second option
