Question

Two sides of a parallelogram are 190 feet and 740 feet. The measure of the angle

between these sides is 88°. Find the area of the parallelogram to the nearest square
foot.

Answer 1

Answer: About 140,514 ft²

Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is base × height. The base is already determined as 740 ft. You can find the height(h) with trigonometry:

`sin(88)=(h)/(190)\\ \\h=190sin(88)=189.88425713`

Now, multiply the values together:

`740*189.88425713=140514.350`
