Question

ASK YOUR TEACHER Two streets meet at an 84° angle. At the corner, a park is being built in the shape of a triangle. Find the area of the park if, along one road, the park measures 190 feet, and along the other road, the park measures 235 feet. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Answer 1

22,203 ft^2

Explanation:

The area of a triangle with angle ∅ and two sides a and b is;

Area A = 1/2 × absin∅ ......1

The park is in the shape of a triangle, with two sides and an angle given;

Given;

a = 190 ft

b = 235 ft

∅ = 84°

Substituting the values into equation 1;

Area of the park;

A = 1/2 × 190 × 235 × sin84°

A = 22,202.70131409 ft^2

A = 22,203 ft^2 (to the nearest whole number)

Area of the park is 22,203 ft^2
