Two sides of a parallelogram are 24 feet and 30 feet. The measure of the angle between these sides is 57 degrees. What is the area of the parallelogram to the nearest square foot?

Answer 1

Area #= 604# sq. ft.

#sin(57^@) = h/(24 "ft"#

#rArr h= 24" ft"xxsin(57^@) = 24" ft" xx 0.83867 = 20.128" ft"#

#Area = base xx height#

#color(white)("XXX")=30" ft" xx 20.128" ft" = 603.84# sq. ft.

To nearest square foot
#color(white)("XXX")Area = 604# sq. ft.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
