How do you calculate the area of a triangle given sides B = 17, C = 19, and angle A = 135 degrees?

1/2 * 17 * 19 * sin(135)

1/2 * 17 + 19 + sin(135)

17 * 19 * sin(135)

1/2 * 17 * 19 * cos(135)

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

What is the formula for the Law of Cosines to find side A?

A^2 = B^2 + C^2 - 2BC cos(angle A)

A^2 = B^2 + C^2 + 2BC cos(angle A)

A = sqrt(B^2 + C^2 - 2BC cos(angle A))

A^2 = B^2 - C^2 - 2BC cos(angle A)
