Sophia wants to solve for the side length of b Which equation could Sophia use to solve for the side length of b , given the other two side lengths and the measure of their included angle?

The Law of Cosines says that the square of a side equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides minus twice their product times the cosine of the included angle. For side b, the other sides are a and c, and the included angle is B, so the equation is b² = a² + c² − 2ac cos(B). That matches choice D.
