Answer:

BC = 29.4

Step-by-step explanation:

30² = 20² + BC² -2•20•BC•cos(108)

900 = 400 +BC² -12.4•BC

900 -400 = BC² -12.4•BC

BC² -12.4•BC -500 = 0

Solve the equation using Bhaskara and you'll find two possible values for BC, which are:

BC = -17 and BC = 29.4

A negative number doesn't make sense because it is a side of a triangle, so we choose BC = 29.4
