Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use the general area formula for finding the area of triangle when you are given information for SAS, which we have been.
, where a and b are the given side lengths and C is the included angle. You can ONLY use this when you have the info for SAS in a triangle. For us,
a = 17, b = 15 and C = 35 degrees. Filling in:
Do that on your calculator in degree mode and you'll find the area to be
73.1 meters squared
To do this, we're going to use the order of operations (PEMDAS):
P - Parentheses
E - Exponents
M - Multiplication
D - Division
A - Addition
S - Subtraction
First let's do parentheses, there isn't anythig in parentheses we need to simplify, so we can skip this step.
Next let's look for exponents. I see we have a so let's replace that with
:
Now let's look for multiplcation. We know that things that are right next to eachother in parentheses represent multiplcation, so let's simply this more:
And now we're left with a simple problem we know how to solve.
