Answer to Problem 34E

6.7 feet

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Architecture: An architect is designing an overhang above a sliding glass door. During the heat of the summer, the architect wants the overhang to prevent the rays of the sun from striking the glass at noon. The overhang has an angle of depression of 55 and starts 130 feet above the ground.

The sketch is shown with some additional angles figured out using alternate interior congruent angles, sum of a triangle and complementary angle facts. Below is a sketch of the triangle in question with the necessary info.

The obtuse angle was found by adding the 55 and 63 degree angles from the first sketch. The side labeled a is the length of the awning we are trying to find.

So by law of sines,

  13sin118=asin27a=13×sin27sin118=6.7

Thus, the length of the overhang is 6.7 feet.
