You can put this solution on YOUR website! Abigail wishes to get the perimeter of a right triangular park.
By looking at the park's map,she saw that the longer leg of the map measures 450m and makes 30 degree angle with the hypotenuse.
:
Find the other leg (b) by using the tangent
tan(30) =
b = 259.8 ft
:
Find the hypotenuse (h) by using the cosine
cos(30) =
h = 519.6 ft
:
Find the park's perimeter: 450 + 519.6 + 259.8 = 1229.4 ft is the perimeter
