From the law of cosines,
\n" ); document.write( "\"c%5E2=a%5E2%2Bb%5E2-2abcos%28C%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c%5E2=12%5E2%2B8%5E2-2%288%29%2812%29cos%2848%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c%5E2=144%2B64-192%28.6691%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c%5E2=79.53\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c=8.92\"
\n" ); document.write( "From the law of sines,
\n" ); document.write( "\"sin%28C%29%2Fc=sin%28B%29%2Fb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sin%2848%29%2F8.92=sin%28B%29%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sin%28B%29=%288%2F8.92%29sin%2848%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sin%28B%29=0.6667\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"B=41.81\"
\n" ); document.write( "So then,
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%2BB%2BC=180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%2B41.81%2B48=180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=90.2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Since \"A%3E90\", obtuse.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
