Solution

The Law of Cosines is used to find the angle in a triangle when we know the lengths of all three sides. The formula is c² = a² + b² - 2abcosC, where a, b, and c are the sides of the triangle, and C is the angle we are trying to find.

In this case, we have:

122 = 52 + 132 - 2(5)(13)cosC

We can see that the sides a and b are 5 and 13, and side c is 12. Therefore, we are solving for angle C.

So, the angle that correctly completes the law of cosines for this triangle is C.
