Answer 1

Corrected Question

Given a triangle with two sides 4.1 cm and 6.7cm and an Included angle of $35^\circ$. Use the Law of Cosines to determine the length of the third side of the triangle.

Answer:

(D) 4.1cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a triangle with two sides 4.1 cm and 6.7 cm and an included angle of $35^\circ$.

Using Law of Cosines

$a^2=b^2+c^2-2bc\cos A\\a^2=4.1^2+6.7^2-2*4.1*6.7\cos 35^\circ\\a^2=16.6958\\a=\sqrt{16.6958}\\a=4.09\\a \approx 4.1 cm$

The correct option is D.
