Answer:

  (b) Triangle QRS is shown. The length of QR is s, the length of RS is 7, and the length of QS is 12. Angle RSQ is 57 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Cosines can be used to find an unknown side when that side is opposite a known angle, and the lengths of the sides of that angle are known. That will be the case when the known sides share a vertex, and the angle at that vertex is known.
