Question

Find the area of the rectangle. Round to the nearest
tenth.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Note all arguments of trigonometric functions are in degrees.

Start by finding the width of the rectangle using SOHCAHTOA.

Since tan(62)=3/(width), the width is equal to 3/tan(62).

So the area is (3)(3/tan62), which you can just plug into your calculator.
