12.7  
Using the Pythagorean theorem, you can easily calculate the length of BC.
So: 
BC = sqrt(12^2 - 6^2) = sqrt(144 - 36) = sqrt(108) = 10.39230485  
Now consider triangle BCD. You know all three angles and one side. Using the law of sines you know that ratio of the sine of each angle over the opposite side is constant. So: 
BC/sin(55) = CD/sin(90) 
BC/sin(55) = CD/sin(90) 
sin(90)BC/sin(55) = CD 
1*BC/sin(55) = CD 
BC/sin(55) = CD 
10.39230485/0.819152044 = CD 
12.68666167 = CD 
12.7 = CD

A square patio has an area of 170 square feet. How long is each side of the patio to the nearest tenth?
Pavlova-9 [17]
Since we know that squares have the same length on all sides, you would find the square root of 170
√170=13.03840481
rounded to the nearest tenth would be 13.1

You can check your work by multiplying 13.1 by 13.1 which equals 170.3

I try to explain the problem and give the answer, I hope this helps!
