Question

In ARST, the measure of ZT=90°, the measure of ZR=82°, and TR = 44 feet. Find thelength of ST to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answer 1

Using trigonometry,

$\begin{gathered} \tan 82^{\circ}=\frac{x}{44ft} \\ x=44\tan 82^{\circ} \\ x=313.076\text{ ft} \end{gathered}$

The length of ST to the nearest of tenth of a foot is 313.1 ft.
