    Use the cosine law to answer the question which can be expressed as,

    c² = a² + b² - 2ab (cos C)

    where c is the side opposite to angle C and a and b are the sides adjacent to the angle. Substituting the given values,

    c² = 33² + 37² - (2) (33) (37) (cos 120°) = 3679

    The value of c is 60.65. Therefore, the length of the third side is approximately 60.65 units.

    By cosine rule:

    c² = a² + b² - 2abCosC

    c² = 33² + 37² - 2*33*37Cos120

    c² = 1089 + 1369 - 2442 (-0.5)

    c² = 3679

    c = √3679

    c ≈ 60.65

    Option B.
