Hey FiestyGeco!

I can only help you with 3, since the pictures won't show.

For 3, we use $$c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos\gamma$$, the law of cosines.

This formula generalizes the Pythagorean Theorem, since $$\cos90º=0\Rightarrow a^2+b^2=c^2$$

We can write: $$CB^2=CA^2+AB^2-2(AC)(AB)-\cos{A}$$

$$(4\sqrt3)^2=(4\sqrt2)^2+AB^2-2(4\sqrt2)(AB)-\cos60\\ 48=32+AB^2-8\sqrt2AB-\frac12\\$$

After solving for AB, you use the same formula to solve for the angle.

This doesn't look like the best method, does anyone know a less rigid way of doing this?

I hope this helped,

Gavin
