GUIDED Example 3 A city wants to build a grass-covered playground on a small triangle-shaped lot with boundaries of length 12 m, 14 m, and 20 m. Through what angle measure should an automatic sprinkler be set to water the grass if it is placed at the corner C? 12 14 A 20 Solution In this SSS situation, you want to find m2C. Use the Law of Cosines. Let a = ?, b = ? , and c = ?. c2 = a? + b² – 2ab cos C ? 2 = ? 2 + ? 2 – 2• _ ? . ? cos C Substitute. %3D ? ? ? _cos C Solve for cos C. = ? cos C QY cos Cz_?
