document.write( "Question 1180768: In describing her plot of land to the surveyor Jemma provided the following details: One side is lined by a 40m fence. Another side runs parallel to the road for 22meters. Those two sides create a 30 degree angle between them. The inspector says this information can create 2 different triangular plots of land. Show work to calculate the remaining angles and the third side of the triangle for both possible plots of land. Round your measurements to the tenths place. \n" ); document.write( "

That information determines a unique triangle. \n" ); document.write( "Use the law of cosines to find the measure of the third side. \n" ); document.write( "Then use the law of sines to find the measure of one of the other angles. \n" ); document.write( "Then use the fact that the sum of the angle measures is 180 degrees to find the third angle. (Or you could use the law of sines again to find that third angle.) \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
