Question 113728 • S1S-OC: Pre-Calculus B (E3710 - AG)

Area = (base)(height)

Answer
The bottom side of the flag measures 5 feet because the triangle is . Because , the trigonometric triangle formula is used to calculate that the area is (5)(5)sin(36°) ≈ 7.35 square feet. Recalling th:

an isosceles triange

The bottom side of the flag measures 5 feet because the triangle is . Because , the trigonometric triangle formula is used to calculate that the area is (5)(5)sin(36°) ≈ 7.35 square feet. Recalling th:

SAS information is known

= (x)(5)sin().:

7.35

= (x)(5)sin().:

72°

Solving for x and adding this value to the length of the other sides, the perimeter ≈ (rounded to the nearest tenth).:

13.1 ft
