Since the side which measures 10 is a vertical projection of the hipotenuse x on a 20 degree angle:
10 = x*sin(20°)
x = 29.238044
Since we have to round to the nearest hundreth:
x = 29.24 m
It’s also 64 because the angles are congruent
To calculate for the perimeter of the garden, we have to solve for the measures of each of the sides of the four-sided polygon. That is calculated by getting the distances between consecutive points.
The equation for the distance is,
d = sqrt ((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)
Distance from G and A,
d = sqrt ((4 - -8)² + (8 - 3)²)
d = 13
Distance from A to R,
d = sqrt ((10 - 4)² + (0 - 8)²)
d = 10
Distance from R to D,
d = sqrt ((-2 - 10)² + (-5 - 0)²
d = 13
Distance from D to G,
d = sqrt ((-8 --2)² + (-5 -3)²)
d = 10
Summing up all the four calculated distances will give us an answer of 46. Thus, the perimeter of the garden is 46 units.
