14. ANS:
a. To find the lengths of the sides, first find the angle at the top and then use the Law of Sines to find the
length of one side. The sides are equal in length since the triangle is isosceles.
The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°.
180° − 2(30°) = 120°
The top angle measures 120°. Now use the Law of Sines and solve for d.
d
22
=
sin 30°
sin 120°
22(sin 30°)
d =
sin 120
d ≈ 12.7
The length of each side is about 12.7 meters.
1
b. To find the area of the triangle, you must find the height of the triangle. Then the area is bh.
2
h
sin 30° =
12.7
h = (sin 30°)(12.7)
Area ≈ 0.5(sin 30°)(12.7)(22) ≈ 69.9
The area of the triangle is about 69.9 square meters.
