Kim is building a triangular dog pen. She will use an existing 10 m wall as one side. She will then build a fence going out at a
45°
angle on one side of the wall and a 65° angle on the other side. How much chain-link fence is needed to complete the fence?

Answer:
17.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle that the fence makes opposite the wall is ...
180° -45° -65° = 70°
The law of cosines can be used to find the lengths of fence needed.
The fence opposite the 45° angle will have a length of ...
short side = (10 ft)·sin(45°)/sin(70°) = 7.525 . . . feet
The fence opposite the 65° angle will have a length of ...
long side = (10 ft)·sin(65°)/sin(70°) = 9.645 . . . feet
Then the total length of fence required is ...
7.525 ft +9.645 ft = 17.170 ft
About 17.2 feet of chain-link fence is required to complete the enclosure.
_____
We have assumed there is no chain-link fence along the 10 ft wall.
_____
The Law of Sines tells you that for sides a, b, c and opposite angles A, B, C, you have ...
a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)
For some given side 'a' and opposite angle A, the other two sides can be found from their opposite angles as ...
b = sin(B)·a/sin(A)
c = sin(C)·a/sin(A)

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that consider a function
Implicit function: That function is a relation in which dependent variable can not be expressed in terms of independent variable
Explicit function: It is that function in which dependent variable can be expressed in terms of independent variable.
a.
Differentiate w.r.t x then we get
b.
Differentiate w.r.t x then we get
When we substituting the value of y obtained from part b into a solution of part a then we get
Hence, solutions are consistent.
