Imagine that you are standing at the top of a cliff that is 1,500 feet above sea level. You see ship A, and your eyes make an an

Distance of A from cliff = 1500·arctan(30°) ≅ 723.5 ft

distance of B from cliff = 723.5+1000√3 ≅ 2455.6 ft
tanθ = 2455.6/1500 = 1.637
θ = arctan(1.637) ≅ 58.6°
angle of depression = 90-θ ≅ 30°

check the picture below.

now, we're assuming the trapezoid is an isosceles trapezoid, namely AD = BC, and therefore the triangles are twins.

incidentally, b is the height of the trapezoid and likewise is also the altitude or height of the concrete triangle.

so we can simply get the area o the trapezoid, notice the bottom base is a+185+a, and then get the area of the concrete triangle and subtract the triangle from the trapezoid, what's leftover is just the vegetation area.

\bf \begin{cases} a=283\cdot cos(80^o)\\ a\approx 49.14\\ --------\\ b=283\cdot sin(80^o)\\ b\approx 278.70 \end{cases}\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(x+y)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} x,y=\stackrel{bases}{parallel~sides}\\ h=height\\ ----------\\ x=185\\ y\approx \stackrel{a+185+a}{283.28}\\ h\approx\stackrel{b}{278.70} \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=\cfrac{278.70(185+283.28)}{2}\implies A\approx 65254.818

so that's the area of the trapezoid, now let's get the area of the triangle.

\bf \stackrel{triangle}{\cfrac{1}{2}(185)(b)}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}(185)(278.70)\qquad \approx 25779.80\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{area for vegetation}}{\stackrel{\textit{area of trapezoid}}{65254.818}~~-~~\stackrel{\textit{area of triangle}}{25779.80}}\implies 39475.018

since we know 36 yd² cost 12 bucks, then how much will it be for 39475.018 yd²?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} yd^2&\$\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 36&12\\ 39475.018&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{36}{39475.018}=\cfrac{12}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{39475.018\cdot 12}{36} \\\\\\ x\approx 13158.339\overline{3}

on the first day of the year, you have $700 in your bank account. you spend $35 per week. your friend starts the year with $450
____ [38]
5weeks
<span>Good! Since you want to find when both of you have the same amount of money, you can set the two expressions representing the money equal to each other. This gives the equation $700 – $35 per week • weeks = $450 + $15 per week • weeks. Solving the equation, you find that you will have the same amount of money in 5 weeks.</span>
