Question

Find the area of the triangle then round the answer to the nearest tenth (please help!!!)

Answer 1

A = 2298.48

Explanation:

The right triangle with the 35angle. you need to find the height of that triangle which is the adjacent side and the opposite side is 44

tan 35° = opposite/ adjacent

`tan 35 = (44)/(x)`

`tan 35(x) = 44`

`x = (44)/(tan 35)`

x = 62.83 ≈ 62.8

Using the 25° angle, you have the height which is 62.8 and looking for the side opposite the 25° angle.

So tan 23° = x/adjacent side

`tan 25= (x)/(62.8)`

`tan 25(62.8)= x`

29.28 ≈29.2 A = 1/2bh ; A = 1/2 (44 + 29.2)(62.8) ; A = 2298.48
