To find the angle (or the length of the third side) of a triangle given two sides, we need a little more information. Specifically, we need to know whether you're looking for the length of the top side or the measure of the angle opposite to the top side.
If you can clarify whether you want to apply the law of cosines, the law of sines, or if you have specific angles in mind, please provide that information so that I can assist you further.
If you're looking for the length of the top side \( c \) opposite to the angle \( C \), and you only have two side lengths \( a = 35 \) and \( b = 40 \), you would need to know at least one of the angles or the relationship between the sides.
For now, if we assume a general triangle and want to find \( C \) using the law of cosines assuming \( a \) and \( b \) are not adjacent, the formula is:
\[
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cdot \cos(C)
\]
