PQRS is a parallelogram with PQ=2x cm, QR=x cm and angle PQR=110°. If the parallelogram have an area of 93.5304 cm², find the value of x.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Area of a parallelogram is the product of the lengths of its two adjacent sides by the sine of the angle between them:
S = x*2x*sin(110°), or
S = .
(See the lesson Area of a parallelogram in this site).
Notice that sin(110°) = sin(180°-110°) = sin(70°).
Therefore, S = .
Hence, x = = .
