Answer:

36 °

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case a rectangular triangle is formed so we can use the trigonometric functions to calculate the angle, they give us the value of the two legs, therefore we can apply the tangent function.

Tan A ° = opposite / adjacent

replacing:

Tan A ° = 50/68

Tan A ° = 0.735

A ° = arc tan (0.735)

A ° = 36.32

Which means that the angle of inclination is 36°

Two angles of a triangle have the same measure and the third one is 18 degrees greater than the measure of each of the other two
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

72°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 equal angles be x then the third angle is x + 18

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°, thus

x + x + x + 18 = 180, that is

3x + 18 = 180 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

3x = 162 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 54

Hence

the largest angle = x + 18 = 54 + 18 = 72°

Bobby is 28cm shorter than Daniel. Roy is 19 cm taller than Daniel. Find the difference in height between Roy and Bobby.
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

There is a 47cm difference between the two....

So you just added 28cm to 19cm to get 47cm....

Because 19-(-28) is 19 + 28.

Hope this helps :D
