A Texas rancher wants to fence off his four-sided plot of flat land. He measures the first three sides, shown as A, B, and C in the figure below, where A = 4.25 km and e, = 179 y A + B + C + D = 0 C = 3.02 km D = ? km 0'= ? 17° D S 16° B 7.5° B = 2.48 km A = 4.25 km A He then correctly calculates the length in kilometers and orientation in degrees west of south of the fourth side D. What is his result in kilometers and degrees west of south? D = km ° west of south
