a wooden frame is to be made using wood that costs $1.25 per linear foot. the frame is in the shape of a right triangle whose hypotenuse is 12 feet and which contains an acute angle of 32 degrees . determine the overall cost of making this frame

Respuesta :

Answer:

Total cost of making frame = $35.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost per linear foot = $1.25

Hypotenuse of the frame = 12 feet

Acute angle = 32°

Find:

Total cost of making frame:

Computation:

Using trigonometric ratio:

[tex]Sin \theta=\frac{perpendicular}{hypoteneus}\\\\Sin 32=\frac{perpendicular}{12}\\\\ 0.53 = \frac{perpendicular}{12}\\\\ perpendicular =6.36\\\\ Cos \theta=\frac{base}{hypoteneus}\\\\Cos 32=\frac{base}{12}\\\\ 0.848 = \frac{base}{12}\\\\ base = 10.176[/tex]

Total cost of making frame = (Total length of side)Cost per linear foot

Total cost of making frame = ( 12 + 6.36 + 10.176)$1.25

Total cost of making frame = (28.536)$1.25

Total cost of making frame = $35.67
