The roof will be in the shape of an isosceles triangle with a base length of 30 m and two sides that are 17 m. The two 17 m beams will have the same angle of elevation since they have to might in the middle.
So to find the angle of elevation, we can split the roof in half vertically to create a right triangle. The base will now be 15 m, and the hypotenuse will be 17. Now we can use a trigonometry function to solve for the angle. We know the hypotenuse and the side adjacent to the angle, so we can use cosine.




The answer is 28.1 degrees
The answer is three significant figures. The 1 and the 7 are both significant, because they are non-zero quantities.
This is where significant figures gets a little more complicated, because if a zero is used as a placeholder (i.e. 0.00027 cm) then it is insignificant.
But in the case above, the zero isn't being used as a placeholder, and thus, is significant.
Answer:
k = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the distance formula:
. We can plug in
= d, x2 = 6, x1=2, y2 = 7, y1 = k.
Then, we can solve the question using some algebra to find that k = 3.
