Answer:

32.78

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that we have two right triangles joined together, with one having adjacent side a, with a side of 12 ft opposite reference angle 30°, and the other one having adjacent side b, with a side of 12 ft opposite reference angle 45°. Thus, a + b = length of AC.

Let's find a and b.

Finding a:

Reference angle = 30°

Opp = 12 ft

Adj = a

Using trigonometric ratio formula, we have:

tan(30) = 12/a

Multiply both sides by a

a*tan(30) = 12

Divide both sides by tan(30)

a = 12/tan(30)

a = 20.78 (nearest hundredth)

Finding b:

Reference angle = 45°

Opp = 12 ft

Adj = b

Using trigonometric ratio formula, we have:

tan(45) = 12/b

Multiply both sides by a

b*tan(45) = 12

Divide both sides by tan(45)

b = 12/tan(45)

a = 12

Length of AC = 20.78 + 12 = 32.78
