Question : In the triangle $\mathrm{ABC}, \mathrm{AB}=12 \mathrm{~cm},\mathrm{AC}=10 \mathrm{~cm}$, and $\angle \mathrm{BAC}=60^{\circ}$. What is the value of the length of the side $\mathrm{BC}$?
Option 1: 10 cm
Option 2: 7.13 cm
Option 3: 13.20 cm
Option 4: 11.13 cm
Correct Answer: 11.13 cm
Solution :
Given, $\mathrm{AB}=12 \mathrm{~cm},\mathrm{AC}=10 \mathrm{~cm}$, and $\angle \mathrm{BAC}=60^{\circ}$
According to cosine law,
$\mathrm{BC}^2=\mathrm{AB}^2+\mathrm{AC}^2-2(\mathrm{AB})(\mathrm{AC})\cos 60^\circ$
⇒ $\mathrm{BC}^2=12^2+10^2-2\times12\times10\times0.5$
$\therefore \mathrm{BC}=11.13\mathrm{~cm}$
Hence, the correct answer is 11.13 cm.
