3. You set up a makeshift greenhouse by leaning a square pane of glass against your house. The glass is
4.5 ft long, and it makes a 30° angle with the ground. How much horizontal distance between your house
and the glass is there to grow plants? Round to the nearest inch.
You have asked your landscaper to create a garden area in an oddly-shaped of your back yard. Regarding the fencing on the two sides of the corner as being radii, the corner’s central angle is two-thirds of a circle. You’d like the landscaper to install a particular type of edging, of which you have 14 and 2/3 feet, as the arc of a circle whose center is the pole where the two fences meet. What will be the area of your new garden?
Sec. 2.4 Mrs. LaPorte wants to build a wheelchair ramp for the step up to her nephew's front door. She
