$\alpha=69.28^o$

$\beta=61.26^o$

$\gamma=49.46^o$

$A=227980.26\ m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle Solving

If we had a triangle will its three sides of known length, we can solve for the rest of the parameters of the triangle, i.e. the area, perimeter and internal angles.

The three circles have diameters 900 m, 700 m and 600 m and are tangent to each other externally. The distances from their centers (where houses are located) are the sum of each pair of the radius of the circles. Thus, the sides of the triangle are

x=450+350=800

y=450+300=750

z=350+300=650

The internal angles can be computed by using the cosine's law

$x^2=y^2+z^2-2yzcos\alpha$

$y^2=x^2+z^2-2xzcos\beta$

$z^2=x^2+y^2-2xycos\gamma$

Where \alpha, \beta and \gamma are the opposite angles to x, y and z respectively. Solving for each one of them:

$\displaystyle cos\alpha=\frac{y^2+z^2-x^2}{2yz}$

$\displaystyle cos\alpha=\frac{750^2+650^2-800^2}{2\cdot 750\cdot 650}$

$cos\alpha=0.3538$

$\alpha=69.28^o$

Similarly

$\displaystyle cos\beta=\frac{x^2+z^2-y^2}{2xz}$

$\displaystyle cos\beta=\frac{800^2+650^2-750^2}{2\cdot 800\cdot 650}$

$cos\beta=0.4808$

$\beta=61.26^o$

The other angle is computed now

$\displaystyle cos\gamma=\frac{x^2+y^2-z^2}{2xy}$

$\displaystyle cos\gamma=\frac{800^2+750^2-650^2}{2\cdot 800\cdot 750}$

$cos\gamma=0.65$

$\gamma=49.46^o$

The area can be found by

$\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{2}x.y.sin\gamma$

$\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 800\cdot 750\cdot sin49.46^o$

$A=227980.26\ m^2$

the most boring ever written

step-by-step explanation:

i am writing something. yes, i plan to make it the most boring thing ever written. i go to the store. a car is parked. many cars are parked or moving. some are blue. some are tan. they have windows. in the store, there are items for sale. these include such things as soap, detergent, magazines, and lettuce. you can enhance your life with these products. soap can be used for bathing, be it in a bathtub or in a shower. apply the soap to your body and rinse. detergent is used to wash clothes. place your dirty clothes into a washing machine and add some detergent as directed on the box. select the appropriate settings on your washing machine and you should be ready to begin. magazines are stapled reading material made with glossy paper, and they cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from news and politics to business and stock market information. some magazines are concerned with more recreational topics, like sports card collecting or different kinds of hairstyles. lettuce is a vegetable.
