Apark in a subdivision is triangular-shaped. two adjacent sides of the park are 573 feet and 536 feet. the angle between the sides is 58 degrees. to the nearest unit, find the area of the park in square yards.
a) 32,557 yd2
b) 14,470 yd2
c) 28,940 yd2
d) 43,410 yd2

First, we convert the lengths of the sides from feet to yards:
573 ft = 191 yd
536 ft = 178.7 yd
Area of a triangle is given by:
1/2 absin(C)
A = 1/2 x 191 x 178.7 x sin(58)
A = 14,473 sq yd
The answer is B.

So,

Newton knows that 1% of anything really just means moving the decimal point two places to the left.

Examples:
1% of 10 = 0.1

1% of 389,092,192 = 3,890,921.92

1% of 3.1415926 = 0.031415926

Knowing this, Newton figures that all he has to do is move the decimal place two places to the left.

1% of 80 = 0.8
