Best answer

cos A\(\frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}\)

\(=\frac{5^2+7^2-3^2}{2.5.7}\)

\(=\frac{25+49-9}{70}\)

\(=\frac{65}{70}\)

 \(=\frac{13}{14}\)

cos B = \(\frac{a^2+c^2-b^2}{2bc}\)

 \(=\frac{3^2+7^2-5^2}{2.3.7}\)

\(=\frac{9+49-25}{42}\)

 \(=\frac{33}{42}\)

\(=\frac{11}{14}\)

cos C = \(\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}\)

\(=\frac{3^2+5^2-7^2}{2.3.5}\)

\(=\frac{9+25-49}{30}\)

\(=-\frac{15}{30}\)

\(=-\frac{1}{2}\)
