Three circles of radii 4, 5 and 6 are mutually tangent to each other. Find the angles of the triangle made when the radii are connected.
------------------
It's a triangle with sides of 9, 10 & 11
-----
a = 9, b = 10, c = 11
---
Use the Cosine Law to find an angle.
---
Then use the Cosine Law or the Law of Sines to find a 2nd angle.
