Law of Cosines: Open Middle Problem (V1)
Inspired by this Open Middle problem submitted by Erick Lee:
Create different triangle by filling in the input boxes on the left. The sum of the numbers on each side of the triangle = the length of that side. Create a triangle with an interior angle that is as LARGE AS POSSIBLE.
What is the measure of the largest possible angle you can make under this "no repeated values" constraint? [br]What are the side lengths of such a triangle?
