22)find the angle opposite the longest side in a triangle with sides of 43 ft ,48ft, and 65ft.
----------------------
Since a^2 = b^2 + c^2 -2bc*cos(A)
--
cos(A) = (b^2+c^2-a^2)/2bc
-----------------------
Your Problem:
cos(A) = (43^2+48^2-65^2)/(2*43*48)
---
cos(A) = -0.0174
---
A = cos^-1(-0.0174) = 91 degrees
