By using trigonometric relations, we will see that the angle of elevation must be 55°.

<h3>How to find the angle of elevation?</h3>

We can see this as a right triangle, where one cathetus measures 1250ft (altitude) and the other cathetus measures 875ft.

The angle of elevation is the angle such that the adjacent cathetus is the one measuring 875ft.

Then we can use the relation:

tan(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)

tan(a) = 1250ft/875ft

To find the angle of elevation, we can use the inverse tangent function:

a = Atan(1250ft/875ft) = 55°

The angle of elevation must be 55 degrees.

How to solve for a missing side length of a triangle (NOT a right triangle) when one side is 4m and another side is 3m, and the
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

c ≈ 6.08 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question is how to solve for a missing side length of a triangle when given 2 sides length and an angle. The side length can be solved using the cosine rule . We use cosine rule to find the length of a side of a triangle when given two sides and an included angle.

The cosine rule formula for finding a side length are as follows

c² = a² + b² - 2ab cosC

b² = a² + c² - 2ac cosB

c² = a² + b² - 2ab cosC

Using cosine rule

c² = 4² + 3² - 2 × 4 × 3 cos 120°

c² = 16 + 9 - 24 cos 120°

c² = 25 - 24 (-0.5)

c² = 25 + 12

c² = 37

square root both sides

c = √37

c = 6.0827625303

c ≈ 6.08 m

Answer:

132 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

these angles are Alternate interior angles so angle A is congruent to angle B.

5x-18 = 3x+42

-3x         -3x

2x-18 = 42

+18       +18

2x    =   60

÷2     ÷2

x=30

A=5(30) -18

  = 150-18

  = 132 degrees
