Answer:

<em>Camera 2nd has to cover the maximum angle, i.e. </em>78.70^\circ.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please have a look at the triangular park represented as a triangle \triangle ABC with sides

a = 110 ft

b = 158 ft

c = 137 ft

1st camera is located at point C, 2nd camera at point B and 3rd camera at point A respectively.

We can use law of cosines here, to find out the angles \angle A, \angle B, \angle C

As per Law of cosine:

cos C = \dfrac{a^{2}+b^2-c^2 }{2ab}\\cos B = \dfrac{a^{2}+c^2-b^2 }{2ac}\\cos A = \dfrac{b^{2}+c^2-a^2 }{2bc}

Putting the values of a,b and c to find out angles \angle A, \angle B, \angle C.

cos C = \dfrac{110^{2}+158^2-137^2 }{2\times 110 \times 158}\\\Rightarrow cos C = \dfrac{12100+24964-18769 }{24760}\\\Rightarrow cos C =0.526\\\Rightarrow C = 58.24^\circ

cos B = \dfrac{110^{2}+137^2-158^2 }{2\times 110 \times 137}\\\Rightarrow cos B = \dfrac{12100+18769 -24964}{30140}\\\Rightarrow cos B = \dfrac{5905}{30140}\\\Rightarrow cos B =0.196\\\Rightarrow B = 78.70^\circ

cos A = \dfrac{158^{2}+137^2-110^2 }{2\times 158 \times 137}\\\Rightarrow cos A = \dfrac{24964+18769-12100}{43292}\\\Rightarrow cos A = \dfrac{31633}{43292}\\\Rightarrow cos A = 0.731\\\Rightarrow A = 43.05^\circ

<em>Camera 2nd has to cover the maximum angle</em>, i.e. 78.70^\circ.

Jason wants to plant 66 carrot seeds and 44 onion bulbs. He would like to plant them so
dexar [7]

The greatest number of plants he can have in each row is 22

He would have 3 rows of carrots

He would have 2 rows of onions

<h3>Greatest Common Factor</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the greatest number of plants he can have in each row

From the given information,

Jason wants to plant 66 carrot seeds and 44 onion bulbs

The greatest number of plants he can have in each row is the greatest common factor of 66 and 44

Factors of 66: 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, and 66

Factors of 44:  1, 2, 4, 11, 22 and 44

The greatest common factor of 66 and 44 is 22

Thus,

The greatest number of plants he can have in each row is 22

He would have 66/22 rows of carrots

66/22 = 3

Thus,

He would have 3 rows of carrots

He would have 44/22 rows of onions

44/22 = 2

Hence, he would have 2 rows of onions

user100 [1]

Answer:

7.6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

c = 2πr       Divide each side by 2π

r = C/2π     Insert values

r = 48/(2×3.14)

r = 48/6.28

r = 7.6 in
