Law of cosines: a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bccos(a) which equation correctly applies the law of cosines to solve for an unknown angle measure? 72 = 82 + 112 – 2(8)(11)cos(n) 82 = 72 + 112 – 2(7)(11)cos(m) 72 = 82 + 112 – 2(8)(11)cos(p) 82 = 72 + 112 – 2(7)(11)cos(p)

The law of cosines is used for calculating one side of the triangle if the angle opposite to that side is given as well as the other sides. For this problem, we are given angle B. Therefore, the correct answer among the choices given is option 1 where a is equal to 5 and c is equal to 3.

The correct answer here is c
