Given:

The measure of three sides of a triangle are 8, 7 and 14.

To find:

The measure of the angle opposite the side of length 8.

Solution:

According to the Law of Cosine:

\cos A=\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}

Let a=8, b=7 and c=14, then by using Law of Cosine, we get

\cos A=\dfrac{7^2+14^2-8^2}{2(7)(14)}

\cos A=\dfrac{49+196-64}{196}

\cos A=\dfrac{181}{196}

Taking cos inverse on both sides.

A=\cos^{-1}\dfrac{181}{196}

A=22.561328

A\approx 22.6

Therefore, the measure of the angle opposite the side of length 8 is 22.6 degrees.
