Answer: The largest angle formed during his trip is at the mall between his home and the library.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see image attached) the angle formed between his home and the library is 90°.
The sum of the interior angles of a right triangle is 180°, and the right angle (90°)is the largest angle formed.
So, the largest angle formed during his trip is at the mall between his home and the library.
