Question

A triangular portion of a baseball field is marked as shown below. To the

nearest tenth, what is the length of the side labeled c?

Answer 1

im say your answer is between 1 choice and last choice but I'm say last choice 2.2

Answer 2

B. 1.6 yards

Explanation:

For the given triangle ABC,

We have ∠BAC = 36° and ∠BCA = 28° and side BC = 2 yards

We have to find length of side labeled as c, so using the sine rule we can say

`(c)/(sin28) = (2)/(sin36) \\(c)/(0.4694) = (2)/(0.5877)\\c = 3.4030*0.4694\\c = 1.59\\`

c is equal to 1.59 which is nearly equal to 1.6 yards so the correct option would be D.
