The question is: The sides of a triangle are 1,√6,and 1+√3
Find all the angles of the triangle.
I've tried using the Law of Cosines in reverse on the triangles to try and find the angles, but I just get a huge mess. Trying to calculate the angle between 1 and √6 I just get arccos(12+√22−√64) which clearly can't be right because that would just be a huge mess. Is there an easier way to do this I'm missing?
Obtuse scalene triangle.
Sides: a = 1 b = 2.449 c = 2.732
Area: T = 1.219
Perimeter: p = 6.182
Semiperimeter: s = 3.091
Use the Law of Cosines to get:
Angle ∠ A =21.369° = 21°22'10″ = 0.373 rad
Angle ∠ B =63.195° = 63°11'40″ = 1.103 rad
Angle ∠ C =95.436° = 95°26'10″ = 1.666 rad
