Answer

$C = 95.7˚$

Work Step by Step

$cos(C) = \frac{a^{2} + b^{2} - c^{2}}{2ab}$ $cos(C) = \frac{(5)^{2} + (7)^{2} - 9^{2}}{2(5)(7)}$ $cos(C) = \frac{25 + 49 - 81}{70}$ $cos(C) = \frac{74 - 81}{70}$ $cos(C) = \frac{-7}{70}$ $cos(C) = \frac{-1}{10}$ by GDC / calculator $C = 95.739...˚$ $C = 95.7˚$
