Step1: Apply the Law of Cosines
The Law of Cosines formula for a triangle with sides \(a\), \(b\), \(c\) and the angle \(x\) opposite to side \(c\) is \(c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}-2ab\cos x\). Here, \(a = 10\), \(b = 14\), \(c = 12\). So, \(12^{2}=10^{2}+14^{2}-2\times10\times14\times\cos x\).
Step2: Simplify the equation

Step3: Solve for \(\cos x\)
\(\cos x=\frac{152}{280}=\frac{19}{35}\approx0.5429\)
Step4: Find the value of \(x\)
\(x=\cos^{- 1}(\frac{19}{35})\approx57.1^{\circ}\)
