A 40 foot long wire stretches from the top of a vertical pole to a stake in the ground 18 feet from the foot of the pole. find,
to the nearest degree, the measure of the acute angle that the wire makes with the ground.
1 answer:
The measure of the acute angle that the wire makes with the ground is 63.27°.
The situation forms a right angle triangle.
<h3>How to find the angle of a right triangle?</h3>
The length of the wire is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
The distance from the foot of the pole is the adjacent side of the right triangle.
Therefore,
cos ∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos ∅ = 18 / 40
cos ∅ = 0.45
∅ = cos⁻¹ 0.45
∅ = 63.2563160496
∅ = 63.27°

Hello. It is already in a simplified fraction, that is as far as it goes.
X=40
Complementary=90 degrees
50+x=90
-50 -50
X=40
