Given:
In triangle XYZ, x = 27 cm, y = 79 cm and .
To find:
The length of z.
Solution:
In triangle XYZ, using the Law of cosine, we get
Putting the given values in the above formula, we get
Taking square root on both sides.
Approx the above value to the nearest number and side length cannot be negative. So,
Therefore, the length of z is about 102 cm.
