Answer:

[tex]C=78.28^{\circ \:}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a triangle

whose sides are

a=12

b=8

c=13

Since, c is largest among them

So, angle C must be largest angle

we can find angle C

we can use law of cosine formula

[tex]cos(C)=\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}[/tex]

now, we can plug values

[tex]cos(C)=\frac{12^2+8^2-13^2}{2\times 12\times 8}[/tex]

[tex]cos(C)=\frac{13}{64}[/tex]

now, we can find angle

we get

[tex]C=78.28^{\circ \:}[/tex]
