A contractor building eight ocean-front condominiums wants to maximize the view of the ocean for each unit. The side of the building facing the ocean is not built in a straight line parallel to the ocean, but instead is built in a zigzag pattern as shown in the figure. Each condo has a window of length x facing the ocean at an angle of 70 ° from a line perpendicular to the ocean. a. Find the length x of each window. Round to the nearest foot. b. The windows facing the ocean are 8 ft high and x feet wide. By using the zigzag pattern how much more ocean-front viewing area does each window provide than if the windows were parallel to the ocean? Round to the nearest square foot.
