Answer:

The answer is option B

2.1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of a we use the cosine rule

That's

a² = b² + c² - 2bc cos A

We have

a² = AB ² + AC ² - 2(AB)(AC) cos A

From the question

AB = 6

AC = 5

A = 20°

Substituting the values into the above formula we have

a² = 6² + 5² - 2(6)(5) cos 20

a² = 36 + 25 - 60cos 20

a² = 61 - 56.38

a² = 4.62

Find square root of both sides

a = √4.62

We have the final answer as

a = 2.1

Hope this helps you
