Question

What do you do first if you are asked to solve a triangle and are given three sides?

Short answer

To solve a triangle with three sides, first we will find one of the angles of the triangle using the Law of Cosines.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given information 

Three sides of a triangle are given.

Step 2. Explanation

Here we are given three sides of a triangle. To solve the triangle, first we will find one of the angles of the triangle using the Law of Cosines. Similarly we will find the second angle using the Law of Cosines and the third angle can be found by using either the Law of Cosines or sum of angles of a triangle.
