Use the formula for the area of a triangle A=[ABxBCxsin(ABC)]/2, where you know A(area), AB, BC. I am sure one of the data is wrong, so make sure you use the correct information when you solve the problem.

If you don't know this formula there is another method of solving. Consider the height AD and the base BC, and write the area A=1/2 x AD x BC. From this equation you can find the height AD. Then you work in the right-angled triangle ABD, where you know a shorter side AD and the hypotenuse AB. So you can find sin ABC, therefore the angle ABC. But again, please make sure you have the correct data.

Solving for angles and sides

11 and 13 I am having huge trouble with.

11 is a triangle inside a triangle. Smaller one being 50° larger being 35° and the base of 35° is 10m. Joanne has to replace the two supporting guy wires for a hydro pole. She measures the distance between the base of the wires to be 10m, and their angle of inclination to be 50° and 35°. Determine the total length of the guy wire that needs to be replaced. Determine the height of the pole.

Question 13 is: From his nest, Mr. Robin flies east for 80m then south for 60m and then straight up into the sky for 30m. At this point how far is Mr. Robin from his nest? And at what angle of elevation viewed from their nest does Mrs. Robin see Mr. Robin?
