Answer:

C° = 71.6056

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of Cosines: c² = a² + b² - 2abcosC°

Step 1: Plug in known variables

29² = 30² + 15² - 2(30)(15)cosC°

Step 2: Evaluate

841 = 900 + 225 - 900cosC°

-59 = 225 - 900cosC°

-284 = -900cosC°

71/225 = cosC°

cos⁻¹(71/225) = C°

C° = 71.6056

And we have our answer!
