Answer:
185 1/16
Step-by-step explanation:
X = measure of angle 1
y = measure of angle 2
z = measure of angle 3
w = measure of angle 4
Focus on the bottom triangle. The three angles add to 180 degrees
(angle 2) + (angle 3) + 116 = 180
y+z+116 = 180
y+z= 180-116
y+z= 64
Since we have the bottom triangle as isosceles, this means that y = z, so
y+z = 64
y+y = 64
2y = 64
y = 64/2
y = 32
making z = 32 as well
Similarly, angle 1 and angle 4 are 32 degrees because the 116 angle is opposite the top left-most angle, and congruent to this angle. In other words, the bottom triangle is a mirror image of the top triangle.
The figure is a rhombus because all four sides are the same length (as shown by the tickmarks)

Answer:
This figure is a rhombus
All four angles (angle 1 through angle 4) are the same measure. They are each 32 degrees
Angle C is Equal to 84 as well as angle A.
Answer:
343.7 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The wire is anchored 190 -13 = 177 ft from the ground. That distance is opposite the given angle (31°). The measure you want is the hypotenuse of the triangle with that side and angle measures.
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the relation between the opposite side, hypotenuse, and angle is ...
Sin(angle) = Opposite/Hypotenuse
Filling in the given information, you have ...
sin(31°) = (177 ft)/hypotenuse
Solving for hypotenuse gives
hypotenuse = (177 ft)/sin(31°) ≈ 343.7 ft
The length of the guy wire should be 343.7 ft.
