.

Use the Cosine Law.



Or, alternatively, calculate the area of the triangle using the Heron's formula;


Then use another formula for the triangle area  S = %281%2F2%29%2Aa%2Ab%2Asin%28gamma%29, where "a" and "b" are any two sides 

and gamma is the included angle.

You are instructed - hence, you know the way.

The rest is on you.
