Question

Find C.

Answer 1

Answer:

$C=69.1^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Cosines is given as:

$c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos C$.

Plugging in given values, we get:

$16^2=8^2+17^2-2\cdot 8\cdot 17\cdot \cos C,\\\cos C=\frac{-97}{-272},\\C=\arccos(\frac{97}{272}),\\C=\fbox{ 69.1^{\circ} }$.
