Question 974067: The diagram below, not drawn to scale, EFGH is a rectangle. The point D on HG is such that ED=DG= 12 cm and GDF=43° Calculate to one decimal place.
A) the length of GF
B) the legth of HD
C) the size of angle HDE

You can put this solution on YOUR website! A) the length of GF
---
tan(43) = GF/12
GF = 12*tan(43) =~ 11.19 cm
------------------------------
B) the legth of HD
EH = FG
EHD is a right triangle, use Pythagoras.
----------
C) the size of angle HDE
cos(HDE) = HD/12
