Interactive practice questions

Find the length of $a$a using the cosine rule.

Round your answer to two decimal places.

A triangle with its vertices labeled as A, B, and C. The angle at vertex A measures $33^\circ$33°. The side opposite to the $33^\circ$33° angle, side $BC$BC, is labeled $a$a units, indicating its unknown length. Side $AB$AB measures $30$30 units, as shown by the scale line beneath it. Side $AC$AC measures $13$13 units. Side $AB$AB and Side $AC$AC are adjacent to the $33^\circ$33° angle at vertex A.
