### Problem 13: Find $ s $
# Explanation:
## Step1: Analyze the triangle
The triangle is split into two right triangles. First, find the two segments of $ s $ using trigonometry.
For the left right triangle: angle $ 27^\circ $, hypotenuse $ 23 $ in. The adjacent side (segment 1) is $ 23\cos(27^\circ) $.
For the right right triangle: angle $ 70^\circ $, hypotenuse $ 23 $ in. The adjacent side (segment 2) is $ 23\cos(70^\circ) $.
## Step2: Calculate each segment
Segment 1: $ 23\cos(27^\circ) \approx 23\times0.891 = 20.493 $
Segment 2: $ 23\cos(70^\circ) \approx 23\times0.342 = 7.866 $
## Step3: Sum the segments for $ s $
$ s = 20.493 + 7.866 \approx 28.4 $ (rounded to nearest tenth)
# Answer:
$ 28.4 $

### Problem 14: Find $ b $
# Explanation:
## Step1: Analyze the right triangle
We have a right triangle with one leg $ 40 $ cm, angle $ 53^\circ $ (left) and angle $ 34^\circ $ (right). First, find the height (let's call it $ h $) using $ \tan(53^\circ) = \frac{h}{40} $, so $ h = 40\tan(53^\circ) \approx 40\times1.327 = 53.08 $
## Step2: Find $ b $ using $ \sin(34^\circ) = \frac{h}{b} $
So $ b = \frac{h}{\sin(34^\circ)} \approx \frac{53.08}{0.559} \approx 95.0 $ (rounded to nearest tenth)
# Answer:
$ 95.0 $

### Problem 15: Find $ h $
# Explanation:
## Step1: Find the third angle
Sum of angles in a triangle is $ 180^\circ $. Third angle $ = 180 - 60 - 35 = 85^\circ $
## Step2: Use the Law of Sines
$ \frac{h}{\sin(60^\circ)} = \frac{10}{\sin(35^\circ)} $
So $ h = \frac{10\sin(60^\circ)}{\sin(35^\circ)} \approx \frac{10\times0.866}{0.574} \approx 15.1 $ (rounded to nearest tenth)
# Answer:
$ 15.1 $

### Problem 16: Find $ d $
# Explanation:
## Step1: Find the third angle
Third angle $ = 180 - 102 - 23 = 55^\circ $
## Step2: Use the Law of Sines
$ \frac{d}{\sin(23^\circ)} = \frac{17}{\sin(55^\circ)} $
So $ d = \frac{17\sin(23^\circ)}{\sin(55^\circ)} \approx \frac{17\times0.391}{0.819} \approx 8.1 $ (rounded to nearest tenth)
# Answer:
$ 8.1 $

### Problem 17: Find Area
# Explanation:
## Step1: Find the third angle
Third angle $ = 180 - 101 - 47 = 32^\circ $
## Step2: Use the formula for area $ \frac{1}{2}ab\sin(C) $
Let $ a = 51 $, $ b $ can be found using Law of Sines: $ \frac{b}{\sin(101^\circ)} = \frac{51}{\sin(47^\circ)} $, so $ b = \frac{51\sin(101^\circ)}{\sin(47^\circ)} \approx \frac{51\times0.982}{0.731} \approx 68.4 $
## Step3: Calculate area
$ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2}\times51\times68.4\times\sin(32^\circ) \approx 0.5\times51\times68.4\times0.5299 \approx 927.4 $ (rounded to nearest tenth)
# Answer:
$ 927.4 $

### Problem 18: Find Area
# Explanation:
## Step1: Analyze the right triangle part
First, find the height (let's call it $ h $) and the base segments. For the right triangle with angle $ 30^\circ $ and $ 45 $ yd (adjacent to $ 61^\circ $): Wait, better to use the two angles. Wait, the triangle has angles? Wait, the figure: let's assume we have two sides and included angle? Wait, maybe using the right triangle. Wait, the triangle has a right angle? Wait, the figure shows a triangle with a right angle, 45 yd, angle $ 61^\circ $ and $ 30^\circ $. Wait, first, find the height $ h $ using $ \tan(61^\circ) = \frac{h}{45} $, so $ h = 45\tan(61^\circ) \approx 45\times1.804 = 81.18 $
## Step2: Find the base length
The base can be found using $ \cot(30^\circ) = \frac{\text{base segment}}{h} $, so base segment $ = h\cot(30^\circ) \approx 81.18\times1.732 = 140.6 $
## Step3: Total base $ = 45 + 140.6 = 185.6 $? Wait, no, maybe the triangle is split. Wait, better to use the formula $ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2}\times\text{base}\times\text{height} $. Wait, maybe the triangle has sides: let's see, the two angles are $ 61^\circ $ and $ 30^\circ $, so the third angle is $ 89^\circ \approx 90^\circ $? Wait, no, maybe it's a triangle with base $ 45 $ yd, height $ h $, and another side. Wait, I think I made a mistake. Wait, the correct approach: Let's assume the triangle has a right angle, and we have a segment of 45 yd, angle $ 61^\circ $ and $ 30^\circ $. So the height $ h = 45\tan(61^\circ) \approx 81.18 $. The base of the triangle (the side opposite the right angle) can be found, but maybe the area is $ \frac{1}{2}\times(45 + 45\cot(30^\circ))\times h $? Wait, no, maybe the triangle is a right triangle? Wait, the figure: let's re - evaluate. Wait, the problem says "Area of the triangle". Let's use the formula $ \text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}ab\sin C $. Wait, maybe the two sides are 45 yd and the other side, and included angle. Wait, maybe the triangle has angles $ 61^\circ $, $ 30^\circ $, and $ 89^\circ \approx 90^\circ $, so it's almost a right triangle. Let's take the base as $ 45 + 45\cot(30^\circ) \approx 45+45\times1.732 = 45 + 77.94 = 122.94 $ yd, height $ h = 45\tan(61^\circ) \approx 81.18 $ yd. Then area $=\frac{1}{2}\times122.94\times81.18\approx 4986.5 $? Wait, no, that's too big. Wait, maybe the triangle is a right triangle with legs? Wait, I think I messed up. Wait, let's start over. The figure: a triangle with a right angle, one leg 45 yd, angle $ 61^\circ $ (so the other leg is $ 45\tan(61^\circ) \approx 81.18 $ yd), and the other part: angle $ 30^\circ $, so the adjacent side to $ 30^\circ $ is $ h $, so the opposite side is $ h\tan(30^\circ) $. Wait, no, maybe the triangle is composed of two right triangles. The total base is $ 45 + h\cot(30^\circ) $, and height is $ h $. But we also have $ h = 45\tan(61^\circ) $. So $ h = 81.18 $, then the other base segment is $ 81.18\cot(30^\circ) \approx 81.18\times1.732 = 140.6 $, total base $ = 45+140.6 = 185.6 $, area $=\frac{1}{2}\times185.6\times81.18\approx 7566.0 $? No, that's not right. Wait, maybe the triangle is a triangle with sides: let's use the Law of Sines. Wait, maybe the two angles are $ 61^\circ $ and $ 30^\circ $, so the third angle is $ 89^\circ \approx 90^\circ $, so it's a right triangle? No, $ 61 + 30 = 91 $, so third angle is $ 89^\circ $. So area $=\frac{1}{2}\times a\times b $, where $ a = 45\sec(61^\circ) \approx 45\div0.4848 = 92.8 $, $ b = 45\csc(30^\circ) = 90 $. Then area $=\frac{1}{2}\times92.8\times90\approx 4176.0 $. Wait, I think I made a mistake. Let's try another approach. The correct way: If the triangle has a right angle, and we have a segment of 45 yd (adjacent to $ 61^\circ $), then the height $ h = 45\tan(61^\circ) \approx 81.18 $ yd. The base of the triangle (the side along the right angle) is $ 45 + 45\cot(30^\circ) $? No, maybe the triangle is a triangle with base $ 45 $ yd, height $ h $, and the other side. Wait, I think the correct answer is approximately $ 1856.0 $? No, let's recalculate. Wait, the formula for area of a triangle is $ \frac{1}{2}ab\sin C $. Suppose we have two sides: let's say one side is $ 45 $ yd, another side is $ 45\tan(61^\circ)\times2 $? No, I'm confused. Wait, maybe the triangle is a right triangle with legs $ 45 $ yd and $ 45\tan(61^\circ) \approx 81.18 $ yd, and the other part is a right triangle with legs $ 45\tan(61^\circ) $ and $ 45\tan(61^\circ)\cot(30^\circ) $. No, this is getting too complicated. Wait, maybe the answer is approximately $ 1856.0 $ (rounded to nearest tenth). Wait, no, let's use the correct method. Let's assume the triangle has a base of $ 45 $ yd, and the height is found by $ \tan(61^\circ)=\frac{h}{45} $, so $ h = 45\times1.804 = 81.18 $ yd. The other base segment (let's call it $ x $) is found by $ \tan(30^\circ)=\frac{h}{x} $, so $ x=\frac{h}{\tan(30^\circ)}=\frac{81.18}{0.577}=140.7 $ yd. Total base $ = 45 + 140.7 = 185.7 $ yd. Area $=\frac{1}{2}\times185.7\times81.18\approx 7570.0 $? No, that's not matching. Wait, maybe the triangle is a triangle with angles $ 61^\circ $, $ 30^\circ $, and $ 89^\circ $, and side $ 45 $ yd opposite $ 30^\circ $? Then by Law of Sines, $ \frac{a}{\sin(61^\circ)}=\frac{45}{\sin(30^\circ)} $, so $ a=\frac{45\sin(61^\circ)}{\sin(30^\circ)}=\frac{45\times0.8746}{0.5}=78.714 $ yd. Then area $=\frac{1}{2}\times45\times78.714\times\sin(89^\circ)\approx\frac{1}{2}\times45\times78.714\times0.9998\approx 1771.1 $ (rounded to nearest tenth). Yes, that makes more sense. So:
## Step1: Use Law of Sines to find another side
$ \frac{a}{\sin(61^\circ)}=\frac{45}{\sin(30^\circ)} $
$ a=\frac{45\times\sin(61^\circ)}{\sin(30^\circ)}=\frac{45\times0.8746}{0.5}=78.714 $
## Step2: Calculate area using $ \frac{1}{2}ab\sin C $
$ \text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}\times45\times78.714\times\sin(89^\circ)\approx\frac{1}{2}\times45\times78.714\times0.9998\approx 1771.1 $
