Find the length of the c side of the \(\mathrm{\Delta}ABC\) which have \(a = 2.25cm,\ b = 6.24cm\ \)and\(\ \angle C = 78{^\circ}\) using the cosine rule

Using the cosine rule, \(c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2ab\cos C\)

\[c^{2} = {2.25}^{2} + {6.24}^{2} - 2(2.25)(6.24)\cos 78\]

\[c^{2} = 5.0625 + 38.9376 - 2(2.25)(6.24)(0.2079)\]

\[c^{2} = 5.0625 + 38.9376 - 5.837832\]

\[c^{2} = 38.162268\]

\[c = \sqrt{38.162268} = 6.18cm\]
