CPM Homework Help : PC3 Problem 12-71

One angle of a triangle measures $70º$ and the opposite side has a length of $37.2$ feet. Another angle of the triangle measures $30º$ . Solve the triangle and calculate its area.

Hint:

The sum of the angles in a triangle is $180º$ .

More Help:

Use the Law of Sines to calculate the remaining side lengths.

Step:

$\frac{\text{sin}(70º)}{37.2}=\frac{\text{sin}(30º)}{x}$

Triangle, bottom side labeled 37.2, left angle labeled 30 degrees, top angle labeled 70 degrees.
