<h2>Answer: a = ¹/₂ (4 + b)</h2>

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

To solve for 'a' we have to make it the subject of the equation. Since there are two unknowns ('a' & 'b'), we won't get a numerical value of 'a', but an expression in terms of the second unknown 'b'.

Since 2a - b = 4 <em> [add 'b' to both sides]</em>

then 2a = 4 + b <em>[divide both sides by 2 = multiplying by ¹/₂]</em>

a = ¹/₂ (4 + b)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Note all arguments of trigonometric functions are in degrees.</em>

<em />

Since tan(35)=4/(longer dotted leg of the triangle), the length of this longer dotted leg is thus 4/tan(35).

Since A=bh, the area is (4/tan35)(12), and you can just plug this into a calculator.
