Can anyone here help me with this math problem for summer school? I've been trying and trying to figure it out but I can't... 
-A cross-country ski trail is laid out in the shape of a triangle. The lengths of the three paths that make up the trail are 2000 meters, 1200 meters, and 1800 meters. Find to the nearest degree the measue of the smallest angle of the trail. I think it has to do with the Law of Cosine, but I'm not sure... Thanks so much!!

*thinks really hard* i know i could figure it out, but probably not the way ur supposed to, nor do i have the energy to do it the right way...I always have the best grades in my math class, but people have given up on asking me cuz my brain seems to work slightly differently...
