We use the Law of cosines to find ∠ABCChosse AC as the "THIRD SIDE" AC² = AB² + BC² - 2·AB·BC·cos(∠ABC) 13² = 8² + 10² - 2·8·10·cos(∠ABC) 169 = 64 + 100 - 160·cos(∠ABC) 169 = 164 - 160·cos(∠ABC) 5 = -160·cos(∠ABC) = cos(∠ABC) -0.03125 = cos(∠ABC) So ∠ABC is an obtuse angle in the second quadrant. so we find the reference angle by finding the inverse cosine of +0.03125 which is 88.20921534° and subtract from 180° and get ∠ABC = 91.79078466° Since two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary, we can find ∠BAD by subtracting ∠ABC from 180°. But we'll just get 88.20921534° again which is the same as the reference angle for ∠ABC. Therefore ∠BAD = 88.20921534° To get that to the nearest minute we multiply the decimal part 0.20921534 by 60 getting 12.55229204 which rounds to 13 minutes. Answer: ∠BAD = 88°13' Edwin
