Explanation Given: A building is too built on a triangular piece of property. The architect is given the approximate measurements of the angles of the triangular lot as 54 ∘ , 39 ∘ , and 87 ∘ and the lengths of two of the sides as 100 m and 80 m. During the architect began to the design on drafting paper, she draw a triangle to scale with the corresponding measures and found the lot was considerably smaller than she had been led to believe. It appeared that the proposed building would not fit. The surveyor was called. He confirmed each of the measurements and could not see a problem with size. Neither the architect nor surveyor could understand the reason for the other’s opinion.
