A playground is located on a triangular piece of land. Two sides of the playground are 157 feet long and they meet at an angle of 65°. Your are hired to build a fence around the playground. Find the cost of the fencing material needed if it will cost $11.75 a foot.

$5,671.84

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the third side, we can use the law of cosines:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab*cos(theta)

c^2 = 157^2 + 157^2 - 2*157*157*cos(65)

c^2 = 28463.7649

c = 168.71 feet

The perimeter of the playground is:

P = 157 + 157 + 168.71 = 482.71 feet

If each foot costs $11.75, the final cost is:

Cost = 482.71 * 11.75 = $5,671.84

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
