Trigonometry Challenge

Give it a try!
From a granite post, proceed 195 ft. east, then along a bearing of S32°E for 260 ft., then along a bearing of S68°W for 385 ft, and finally along a line back to the granite post. 
  • What is the area of this plot of land?
  • If 1 acre = 43,560 ft2 and land is taxed at $115 per acre, how much would the taxes be for that plot of land?
  • What would the directions (bearing and distance) for traveling the last leg of the trip back to the starting point be?
Bring your answers and work to class on Monday for a chance to earn some extra credit!
