D. Camera 1
1 answer:
Correct Answer:
Option C. Camera 2
The greatest angle is always opposite to the side measure greater in length. So first we find the greatest side.
The distance between cameras is:
Camera 1 and Camera 2 : 106 feet
Camera 2 and Camera 3 : 133 feet
Camera 1 and Camera 3 : 151 feet
So the largest side of the triangle is the side between camera 1 and camera 3. So the camera opposite to this side will have to cover to greatest angle. The camera opposite to this side is Camera 2. This scenario is also shown in figure below.
Therefore, Camera 2 had to cover the greatest angle.

Therefore, Camera 2 had to cover the greatest angle.

gives an average cost per unit, if we want to produce x of them.
So for example, we want to produce 500 toy cars for our store, and we need a price per unit (per 1 toy car). What we do is we calculate C(500).
So to calculate the cost of one unit when producing 1250, we calculate C(1250)
