The sides of a triangle measure 18 , 25 and 36 inches. To the nearest degree, what is the measure of the largest angle?

Here you have side, side, side. To solve this we can use the law of cosines "cos(A) = ( b2 + c2 − a2)/(2bc)" to get each angle. Once you have that just name which one is the largest.
