Answer:

Angle 1 equals 90 degrees. Angle 2 equals 38 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 1 is at the cross of two perpendicular lines, making it 90 degrees. Angle 2 can be found by making the two equal side lengths and the middle line into one triangle. This means that two of the angles are 52 degrees. This leaves 76 degrees to be split in the triangle. The middle line cuts the angle in half, making it 38 degrees

A lighthouse is 90 feet above sea level. The angle of depression from the top of the lighthouse to the center of the rock is 35

Notice the picture below

so.... the angle of depression, is above in dashed lines.... however, the angle of depression, is identical to the angle of elevation from the water, since, both angles are "alternate interior" angles

now, using the 45-45-90 rule, then we know the swimmer is 90 feet from the lighthouse, then just use the tangent ratio to get "x"
