Answer:

The measures of the angles at its corners are [tex]59.1\°,35.4\°,85.5\°[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the measure of angle A

Applying the law of cosines

[tex]185^{2}= 215^{2}+125^{2}-2(215)(125)cos(A)[/tex]

[tex]2(215)(125)cos(A)= 215^{2}+125^{2}-185^{2}[/tex]

[tex]cos(A)= [215^{2}+125^{2}-185^{2}]/(2(215)(125))[/tex][tex]cos(A)=0.513953[/tex]

[tex]A=arccos(0.513953)=59.1\°[/tex]

step 2

Find the measure of angle B

Applying the law of cosines

[tex]125^{2}= 215^{2}+185^{2}-2(215)(185)cos(B)[/tex]

[tex]2(215)(185)cos(B)= 215^{2}+185^{2}-125^{2}[/tex]

[tex]cos(B)= [215^{2}+185^{2}-125^{2}]/(2(215)(185))[/tex][tex]cos(B)=0.81489[/tex]

[tex]B=arccos(0.81489)=35.4\°[/tex]

step 3

Find the measure of angle C

Applying the law of cosines

[tex]215^{2}= 125^{2}+185^{2}-2(125)(185)cos(C)[/tex]

[tex]2(125)(185)cos(C)= 125^{2}+185^{2}-215^{2}[/tex]

[tex]cos(C)= [125^{2}+185^{2}-215^{2}]/(2(125)(185))[/tex][tex]cos(C)=0.0784[/tex]

[tex]C=arccos(0.0784)=85.5\°[/tex]
