Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<AMC = 180º − <AMB
<AMC = 180º − 120º
<AMC = 60º
Now use the law of cosines twice to find AC and AB:
1.
(AC)² = (AM)² + (MC)² − { 2 • (AM) • (MC) • cos[AMC] }
(AC)² = 4² + 2² − { 2 • 4 • 2 • cos[60] }
AC = 3.46 cm

2.
(AB)² = (AM)² + (MB)² − { 2 • (AM) • (MB) • cos[AMB] }
(AB)² = 4² + 2² − { 2 • 4 • 2 • cos[120] }
AB = 5.29 cm
______________________________________
3.
(AM)² = (CM)² + (AC)² − { 2 • (CM) • (AC) • cos[ACB] }
4² = 2² + (3.46)² − { 2 • (2) • (3.46) • cos[ACB] }
cos[ACB] = 0
<ACB = 90º
