Los angeles is 1,744 miles from chicago; chicago is 714 miles from new york; and new york is 2,451 miles from los angeles. The tree cities form a triangle. Find the measure of the angle in the triangle whose vertex represents chicago.

170°

170°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the distance from Los Angeles to Chicago = 1744 miles, b be the distance from Chicago to New York = 714 miles and c be the distance from New York to Los Angeles = 2451 miles.

A is the angle opposite to side a, B is the angle opposite to side b and C is the angle opposite to side c.

Therefore the angle at Chicago is  C.

From cosine rule:

c² = a² + b² - 2ab × cos (C)

2ab × cos (C) = a² + b² - c²

cos (C) = (a² + b² - c²) / 2ab

Substituting:

cos (C) = (1744² + 714² - 2451²) / 2×1744×741

cos (C) = -0.986

C = cos⁻¹ (- 0.986) = 170°

water molecules will move from the side of higher water concentration to the side of lower concentration until both solutions are isotonic. at this point, equilibrium is reached. in an isotonic solution, the flow of water in and out of the cell is happening at the same rate.

hope this < 3

just needed some points but try socratic
