The angles are: A =24.7° ; B = 40.6° ; C =114.7°.

What is Cosine law?

The law of cosine helps in establishing a relationship between the lengths of sides of a triangle and the cosine of its angles. The cosine law in trigonometry generalizes the Pythagoras theorem, which applies to a right triangle.

Cosine Law

a² = b²+c²-2bc cos A

b² = c²+a² -2ca cos B

Sum of three angles of a triangle is 180°.

a = 34 ; b= 53; c = 74

Substituting the given values in the cosine law, we have

34² = 53² + 74² - 2*53 *74 * cos A

7844 cos A = 2809 + 5476 - 1156 = 7129

cos A = 7129/7844 = 0.9088

A = cos⁻¹ (0.9088) = 24.6600° = 24.7°

53² = 74² + 34² - 2 (74)(34) cos B

5032 cos B = 5476 + 1156 - 2809 = 3823

cos B = 3823/5032 = 0.7597

B = cos⁻¹ (0.7597) = 40.5622° = 40.6°

Also, A + B + C = 180°

24.7 + 40.6 + C =180

C =180 -  65.3 = 114.7°

Thus, the angles are: A =24.7° ; B = 40.6° ; C =114.7°
