Answer:
You can use either of the following to find "a":
- Pythagorean theorem
- Law of Cosines
Step-by-step explanation:
It looks like you have an isosceles trapezoid with one base 12.6 ft and a height of 15 ft.
I find it reasonably convenient to find the length of x using the sine of the 70° angle:
x = (15 ft)/sin(70°)
x ≈ 15.96 ft
That is not what you asked, but this value is sufficiently different from what is marked on your diagram, that I thought it might be helpful.

Consider the diagram below. The relation between DE and AE can be written as ...
DE/AE = tan(70°)
AE = DE/tan(70°) = DE·tan(20°)
AE = 15·tan(20°) ≈ 5.459554
Then the length EC is ...
EC = AC - AE
EC = 6.3 - DE·tan(20°) ≈ 0.840446
Now, we can find DC using the Pythagorean theorem:
DC² = DE² + EC²
DC = √(15² +0.840446²) ≈ 15.023527
a ≈ 15.02 ft

You can also make use of the Law of Cosines and the lengths x=AD and AC to find "a". (Do not round intermediate values from calculations.)
DC² = AD² + AC² - 2·AD·AC·cos(A)
a² = x² +6.3² -2·6.3x·cos(70°) ≈ 225.70635
a = √225.70635 ≈ 15.0235 . . . feet
Step-by-step explanation:
If it's a straight line the use formula
m= gradient of line
c = y-intercept
we know that y-intercept is 4 so coordinate is
(0,4)
Equation also passes (2,10)
Use both coordinate to find gradient
m= vertical distance / horizontal distance
= (10-4) / (2-0)
= 3
y = 3x + 4
