Please help me find the sides of a, b, and c of the triangle that is a = 4 , b = 8, c = 10
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "You mean find the angles.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "So far I have \"+2%5E2+%2B+4%5E2+-2+%2A4%2Acos%28c%29=5%5E2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "20 - 8cos(C) = 25
\n" ); document.write( "Not -16cos, -8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "********** \"+-16cos%28c%29=25-4-16+\" \"+-16cos%28c%29=5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+cos%28c%29+=+-5%2F8+\" \"+c+=+180-71.79+\" \"+c+=+108.21+%2A+degrees+\"
\n" ); document.write( "C =~ 128.68 degs
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "I would use the Law of Sines to find a 2nd angle.
\n" ); document.write( "sin(C)/c = sin(A)/a
\n" ); document.write( "sin(A) = a*sin(C)/c = 4*0.7806/10 = 0.31225
\n" ); document.write( "A = 18.195 deg
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "B = 180 - (A + C)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
