3. Divers looking for a sunken ship have defined the search area as a triangle with adjacent sides of length 2.75 miles and 1.32 miles. The angle between the sides of the triangle is 35. To the nearest hundredth, find the search area. 2.08 mi²2.97 mi²1.49 mi²1.04 mi²
Accepted Solution
A:
Area = (1/2) x 2.75 x 1.32 x sin(35 deg) = 1.815 x (0.573576) = 1.04 sq. miles.
