I need serious help with this equation.​

First, it’s already telling you that you need to find d, which is the opposite of degree 59. This means you have to do the exact thing for degree 37. Since it’s already telling you to use sine, you need to look at the opposite side of 37 which is 98.4.

So ? is 98.4

Now, you need to find sin 59 / d.

First, plug in sin 98.4 sin (37) in your calculator (make sure it’s in degree setting)

The result is 59.2.

Now, 59.2 = sin 59 / d.

Switch sides like this: d = 59.2 sin (37)

And the answer is approximatley d = 35.6

? = 98.4

d = 35.6

maximum area = xy = (16)(32) = 512 ft2

to maximize the area of the garden, the side of the fence parallel to the side of the house should be 32 ft long, and the other two sides should both have length 16 ft.'
