Answer:

  C)  14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle solver can quickly show you the third side is 14 cm.

__

The law of cosines can be used for this purpose. If the given sides are 'a' and 'b', and the third side is 'c', then that law tells you ...

  c² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(C)

  c² = 7² +11² -2·7·11·cos(100°) ≈ 196.74

  c ≈ √196.74 ≈ 14.03

The length of the third side is about 14 cm.
