Step1: Use the Law of Cosines
The Law of Cosines states that for a triangle with sides \(a\), \(b\), \(c\) and angle \(C\) opposite side \(c\), \(c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}-2ab\cos C\). In this case, assume the triangle has sides \(IJ\), \(IK = 40\), \(JK=23\) and the included angle. But wait, if we assume it's a parallelogram - no, wait, no. Wait, if two sides and included angle - no, wait, actually, if we assume that the two triangles are congruent (by some property, but wait, no - wait, actually, if we use the Law of Cosines formula for the side \(JI\). Wait, no - wait, actually, if we consider the triangle \(IJK\). Wait, no, wait, actually, if we use the Law of Cosines: \(JI^{2}=IK^{2}+JK^{2}-2\times IK\times JK\times\cos\angle K\).
