Question 1093841: Solve triangle ABC using the Law of Cosines. Round to the nearest tenth.
side c = 62.5 cm
∠B = 20°
side a = 88.2 cm
Select one:
a. b = 36.4 cm, ∠A = 124.0°, ∠C = 36.0°
b. b = 80.7 cm, ∠A = 158.0°, ∠C = 2.0°
c. b = 36.4 cm, ∠A = 56.0°, ∠C = 104.0°
d. b = 80.7 cm, ∠A = 22.0°, ∠C = 138.0°

Solve triangle ABC using the Law of Cosines. Round to the nearest tenth.
side c = 62.5 cm
B = 20°
side a = 88.2 cm
==============
b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac*cos(B)
----
I would use the Law of Sines to find 2nd angle.
-------
Notice that if B = 90 degs, it's the Pythagorean Theorem.
