Vance is designing a garden in the shape of an isosceles triangle. The base of the garden is 30 feet long. The function y = 15tantheta models the height of the triangular garden.
a. What is the height of the triangle when CE_theta = 30°?
b. What is the height of the triangle when CE_theta = 40°?
c. Vance is considering using either CE_theta = 30° or CE_theta = 40° for his garden. Compare the areas of the two possible gardens. Explain how you found the areas.
