So the ratio is at ¼ : 12, namely the drawing has ¼ inch to an actual 12 feet.

so, what would it be for an actual 15 feet on the drawing then?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
\stackrel{inches}{drawing}&\stackrel{feet}{actual}\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
\frac{1}{4}&12\\\\
d&15
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{1}{4}\quad }{d}=\cfrac{12}{15}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{1}{4}\quad }{\frac{d}{1}}=\cfrac{12}{15}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{4}\cdot \cfrac{1}{d}=\cfrac{12}{15}\implies \cfrac{1}{4d}=\cfrac{12}{15}\implies 15=48d\implies \cfrac{15}{48}=d\implies \cfrac{5}{16}=d

Two streets bounding your triangular lot make an angle of 74∘. The lengths of the two sides of the lot on these streets are 126
ycow [4]

Answer: a) Yes, there is enough fance

b) 58.1° and 47.9°

c) The city will not approve, because 1/3 of the area is just 2220.5ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

a) using law of cosines: x is the side we do not know.

x² = 126² + 110² - 2.126.110.cos74°

x² = 20335.3

x = 142.6 ft

So 150 > 142.6, there is enough fance

b) using law of sine:

sin 74/ 142.6 = sinα/126 = sinβ/110

sin 74/ 142.6 = sinα/126

0.006741 = sinα/126

sinα = 0.849

α = sin⁻¹(0.849)

α = 58.1°

sin 74/ 142.6 = sinβ/110

sin 74/ 142.6 = sinβ/110

0.006741 = sinβ/110

sinβ = 0.741

β = sin⁻¹(0.741)

β = 47.9°

Checking: 74+58.1+47.9 = 180° ok

c) Using Heron A² = p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)

p = a+b+c/2

p=126+110+142.6/2

p=189.3

A² = 189.3(189.3-126)(189.3-110)(189.3-142.6)

A = 6661.5 ft²

1/3 A = 2220.5

So 2300 >  2220.5. The area you want to build is bigger than the area available.

The city will not approve
