Suppose you have a triangle (not a right triangle) wher one angle is (theta). the length of the opposite to theta is 5. the other two sides have length 4 and 6.

so i have all the sides. picturing it like a normal triangle.. 5 is on the bottom, for theta is at the tip of the traingle with 4 and 6 on either side...now how can i find the angle theta? Theta would be the angle correct?

a=4b=6c=5 angle θ ? 

 

c2=a2+b22abcos(θ)cos(θ)=a2+b2c22abcos(θ)=42+6252246cos(θ)=16+362548cos(θ)=2748cos(θ)=0.5625θ=55.7711336722\ensuremath
