Question

A park in a subdivision is triangular-shaped. Two adjacent sides of the park are 537 feet and 523 feet. The angle between the sides is 74 degrees. To the nearest unit, find the area of the park in square yards.

Answer 1

Using the side angle side formula:
Area = ½ • side 1 • sine (A) • side 2
Area = ½ • 537 • .96126 • 523
134,985.42 square yards
