The length of side C is equal to 9.78
Explanation:
To solve for side c, you can use the cosine law. Draw a figure then if the figure is properly labeled you'll be able to use cosine law using:
where a,b and c are the sides of the triangle and C is the angle between A and B.
Substitute the data given and you'll get the result of 9.78
