QUARTER 4_PERFORMANCE TASK #1

Goal- Your task is to survey the area of a triangular parcel of land using the concept of sine.
Role- You are a surveyor.
Audience- Prospective buyers of the land.
Situation- Three prospective buyers of the triangular parcel of land are interested in buying the
land. All of the prospective buyers want the land so much because each side of the land is along a
road which makes the land very accessible. The only thing that keeps them from buying the land is
that they do not know the area of the land. Prospective buyer no.1 wants the area to be within the
range of 500 m2 to 750 m2, prospective buyer no.2 wants the area to be within the range of 750 m2
to 850 m2, and prospective buyer no.3 wants the area to be exactly 850 m2. To make sure that the
area of the land is what they wanted, they agreed to hire you as a surveyor and share the expenses
for your fee.
Product or Performance- Submit a sketch of the land drawn to scale and computations indicating
the area of the triangle.
Standards of Performance- Your work must meet the standards in the following rubric.
Deadline: May 3, 2024
