I'm not 100% sure this is right but I think this is how you do it
Answer:
x ≈ 4.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Reference angle = 75°
Opposite side to reference angle = 17
Adjacent side = x
Applying TOA:
Tan 75 = opp/adj
Tan 75 = 17/x
Multiply both sides by x
x*Tan 75 = 17
Divide both sides by Tan 75
x = 17/Tan 75
x ≈ 4.6
Answer:
The area is 105.5ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Required
The area of the composite figure
The figure can be divided to 2 shapes
(1) Rectangle: Length = 6ft and Width = 8ft
(2) Trapezoid: Height = 5ft (i.e. 8 - 3), Parallel sides = 9ft and 14ft (i.e. 20 - 6)
The area of the rectangle is:

The area of the trapezoid is:




So, the area of the garden is:
