Question

A park in a subdivision is triangular-shaped. Two adjacent sides of the park are 581 feet and 540 feet. The angle between the sides is 83. To the nearest unit, find the area of the park in square yards.

a. 51,900 ^2

b. 34,600 ^2

c. 17,300 ^2

d. 38,925 ^2

Answer 1

Area of a triangle is base x height/2

height =540Sin(83) = 535.97 ft.

Area = 535.97 x 581/2 = =155,699 ft² / 9 ft²/yard

Area = 17,300 yd²

Answer C
