Use the law of cosines:
cos A = (b^2 + c^2 − a^2) / (2bc) = (576 + 625 − 49) / (2 · 24 · 25) = 1152 / 1200 = 0.96.
A = arccos(0.96) ≈ 16.3 degrees.
Answer: 16.3 degrees.
cos A = (b^2 + c^2 − a^2) / (2bc) = (576 + 625 − 49) / (2 · 24 · 25) = 1152 / 1200 = 0.96.
A = arccos(0.96) ≈ 16.3 degrees.
Answer: 16.3 degrees.
