12. A chicken coop has two spaces, one for nesting and one for eating.
The nesting and eating spaces are separated by a wall along the line AX, as shown in the
diagram.

DX = 3.16 m, ADX = 45 and AXD = 60


a) Write down a calculation to show that the value of is 75.
b) Find the length of AX. Write your answer in metres, correct to 2 decimal places.
c) Calculate the area of the floor of the nesting space ADX. Write your answers in m2, correct to
one decimal place.

SECTION C EXTENDED RESPONSE


14. In the diagram below, the entry gate of an adventure park is located at point G. The
canoeing activity is located 40m from the entry gate at point C, and the waterslide
90m from that, at point W. the angle GCW is 120.

a) Find the distance from the water slide to the entry gate, GW, to the nearest metre.
b) Hence find the remaining angles in the triangle, to the nearest whole number.
c) Evaluate the area that is enclosed by the 3 paths, GC, CW and GW, to 2 decimal
places.
(2 + 3 + 2 = 7 marks)

Answer:
a) 2 = 402 + 902 2 40 90 cos(120)
