Rectangle has 4 sides dived 96 by 4 and then from there you have to make length be bigger than width
Part A) Find BC, the distance from Tower 2 to the plane, to the nearest foot.
in the triangle ACD
sin16=CD/(7600+BD)--------> CD=sin16*(7600+BD)---------> equation 1
in the triangle BCD
sin24=CD/BD-----------> CD=sin24*BD---------------> equation 2
equation 1=equation 2
sin16*(7600+BD)=sin24*BD-----> sin16*7600+sin16*BD=sin24*BD
sin24*BD-sin16*BD=sin16*7600----> BD=[sin16*7600]/[sin24-sin16]
BD=15979 ft
in the triangle BCD
cos24=BD/BC---------> BC=BD/cos24-------> 15979/cos24-------> 17491
BC=17491 ft
the answer part 1) BC is 17491 ft
Part 2) Find CD, the height of the plane from the ground, to the nearest foot.
CD=sin24*BD ( remember equation 2)
BD=15979 ft
CD=sin24*15979 -----------> CD=6499 ft
the answer part 2) CD is 6499 ft
Area of part 1:A1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2Area of part 2:A2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2Area of part 3:A3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2
Total shaded area : A1+A2+A3=41 ft2Total area of the reactangle : A=16*8=128 ft2Total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
