Looking at this problem in the book, I'm guessing that you've been
introduced to a little bit of trigonometry. Or at least you've seen the
definitions of the trig functions of angles.
Do you remember the definition of either the sine or the cosine of an angle ?
In a right triangle, the sine of an acute angle is (opposite side) / (hypotenuse),
and the cosine of an acute angle is (adjacent side) / (hypotenuse).
Maybe you could use one of these to solve this problem, but first you'd need to
make sure that this is a right triangle.
Let's see . . . all three angles in any triangle always add up to 180 degrees.
We know two of the angles in this triangle ... 39 and 51 degrees.
How many degrees are left over for the third angle ?
180 - (39 + 51) = 180 - (90) = 90 degrees for the third angle.
It's a right triangle ! yay ! We can use sine or cosine if we want to.
Let's use the 51° angle.
The cosine of any angle is (adjacent side) / (hypotenuse) .
'BC' is the side adjacent to the 51° angle in the picture,
and the hypotenuse is 27 .
cosine(51°) = (side BC) / 27
Multiply each side of that equation by 27 :
Side-BC = (27) times cosine(51°)
Look up the cosine of 51° in a book or on your calculator.
Cosine(51°) = 0.62932 (rounded)
<u>Side BC</u> = (27) x (0.62932) = <u>16.992</u> (rounded)
============================================
You could just as easily have used the sine of 39° .
That would be (opposite side) / (hypotenuse) ... also (side-BC) / 27 .
Answer:
390 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
We will break this shape into two rectangles, one that is 7 ft wide by 30 ft long
and the other that is 25ft-7ft wide by 30ft -20 ft long (18 ft by 10 ft)
1st: 7 ft by 30 ft
A = l*w = 7*30 = 210 ft^2
2nd: 18 ft by 10 ft
A = l*w = 18 * 10 = 180 ft^2
Add the areas together
210+180 = 390 ft^2

Look at the face of the pyramid facing you. The length of the base of this pyramid is 82 m; half of that is 41 m.
If you were to draw a straight vertical line through the vertex of the pyramid, the bottom of this line would be at the very center of the base and also be 41 in perpendicular distance from any of the edges of the base of this pyramid.
Let the height of the pyramid be y, as measured upward from the center of the base of the pyramid. This center is, as before, 41 m from any side of the pyramid base, a horiz. distance.
Then, tan 52 deg = y / 41 m, and so y = height of pyramid =
(41 m)(tan 52 deg) = (41 m) (1.28) = 52.48 m
