Question

Solve triangle ABC. (Round the length to three decimal places and the angles to one decimal place.)

The image shows a triangle labeled \( \triangle ABC \). The angle at vertex \( C \) measures \( 120^\circ \). The side opposite vertex \( C \) (i.e., side \( AB \)) is not labeled with a length. The side \( AC \) is labeled with a length of 12 units, and the side \( BC \) is labeled with a length of 23 units.

### Explanation:

- **Vertices:** The triangle has three vertices labeled \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \).
- **Sides:** The two sides meeting at vertex \( C \) are \( AC = 12 \) units and \( BC = 23 \) units.
- **Angle at C:** The angle \( \angle ACB \) is shown to be \( 120^\circ \).
  
This diagram can be used to study the properties and theorems related to triangle geometry, such as the Law of Cosines which can be useful in calculating the unknown side \( AB \).
