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

D. 1.6 yd

Explanation:

Use the law of sines.

`(c)/(\sin C) = (a)/(\sin A)`

`(c)/(\sin 28^\circ) = (2~yd)/(\sin 36^\circ)`

`c = (2~yd * \sin 28^\circ)/(\sin 36^\circ)`

`c = 1.6~yd`
