Question

In ARST, the measure of ZT=90°, the measure of ZR=82°, and TR = 44 feet. Find thelength of ST to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answer 1

Using trigonometry,

`\begin{gathered} \tan 82^(\circ)=(x)/(44ft) \\ x=44\tan 82^(\circ) \\ x=313.076\text{ ft} \end{gathered}`

The length of ST to the nearest of tenth of a foot is 313.1 ft.
