Consider using the Law of Cosines, because the lengths of three sides are given and the largest angle is the one to be approximated. This angle will be opposite the longest side, that is, opposite the 420-foot side.

420^2 = 250^2 + 300^2 - 2(250)(300)cos A.

Then: 176400 = 62500 + 810000 - 150000cos A.

Solving for cos A, we get:

150000cos A = 176400-62500-810000, or -696100

Then:

-696100

cos A = ------------------- = - 4.64. This is not possible, as the range of the cosine

150000 function is [-1,1].

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,A triangular city lot bounded by three streets has a length of 300 feet on one street, 250 feet on the second, and 420 feet on the third, thus

Let the angles be A, B, and C and the sides a, b, c.

a=300, b=250 and c=420

Then, cosC=\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}

cosA=\frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}

and cosB=\frac{a^2+c^2-b^2}{2ac}

For finding angle C, we have

cosC=\frac{300^2+250^2-420^2}{2(300)(25)}

cosC=\frac{90,000+62,500-176,400}{150,000}

CosC=\frac{-23,900}{150,000}

C=cos^{-1}(0.159)

A=80.85^{\circ} (angle C is in quadrant II)

For finding angle A, we have

CosA=\frac{250^2+420^2-300^2}{2(250)(420)}

CosA=\frac{62,500+176,400-90,000}{210,000}

CosA=-0.71

A=cos^{-1}(0.71)

A=44.765^{\circ}

For finding angle B, we follow the same procedure, thus

B=180-(80.85+44.765)= 54.385^{\circ}

Now, the largest angle is made by angle C, thus third street has the largest angle.

Which of these graphs represent a rate of change of 4 ?
sammy [17]

The last graph because the slope is 40.

Slope equals rise over run

Rise is 4/ Run is 1

4/1=4

Slope (rate of change)=4
