Question

Please help! Geometry! Part A: Monica plans to put a fence along the length AD of her lawn. What is the length of the fence required?
Part B: Using complete sentences, explain how you arrived at the answer for Part A.

Answer 1

This problem just need to be broken into two steps first you need to find length BD using pythagorean theorem. (BC^2 + CD^2 = BD^2)

Once you know that, you can then find AD know that the tan (60) = BD / AD

If you have not covered tan of a number, there are a few other ways to solve that.

Answer 2

@Xetion I got 900 for the pythagorean theorem, but I don't know the measure of AD so how would I divide it when I do tan?

Answer 3

I got 2812.14506 @Xetion
