A farmer wants to fence a piece of his land. Two sides of the triangular field have lengths of 120 feet and 325 feet. The measure of the angle between those sides is 70 degrees. How much fencing will a farmer need?

Respuesta :

Answer: Area=18324 square feet

Explanation: We need to find the area of the field using the side angle side method, which uses the equation (ab*sin C)/2.
Thus, we have (120*325*sin 70)/2=18324 square feet.

Farmer need 750.5 feet fencing for his triangular field.

What is triangle?

"Triangle is  two dimensional geometrical shape with three sides and three vertices. Sum of all the angles of a triangle is equals to 180°.

Formula used

Cosine rule

As per the diagram,

cosθ = (b² +c² -a²) / 2bc

cos 70° = 0.3420

According to the question,

Let AB = c , AC = b  are given sides of measure 120 feet and 325 feet respectively.

and BC = a

Angle between given sides be θ = 70°

Substitute the value in the formula we get,

cos70° = [ (325)² +(120)² - a²] / 2(120)(325)

⇒ 0.3420 = [ 120025 - a²] / 78000

⇒ 120025 -a² = 26676

⇒ a² = 93349

⇒ a = 305.5

Total fencing required for  triangular field = AB + BC +CA

                                                                      = 120 + 325 + 305.5

                                                                      = 750.5 feet

Hence, farmer need 750.5 feet fencing for his triangular field.
