An extremely large sink hole has opened up in a field just outside of the city limits. It is difficult to measure across the sin

k hole without falling in so you use congruent triangles. You have one piece of rope that is 50 ft. long and another that is 70 ft. long. You pick a point "A" on one side of the sink hole and "B" on the other side. You tie a rope to each spot and pull the rope out diagonally back away from the sink hole so that the two ropes meet at point "C" . Then you recreate the same triangle by using the distance from line "AC" and line "BC" and creating new segments CE and CD . The distance of line "DE" is 52.2 ft.

Triangle ABC and triangle DCE are congruent, so line DE = line AB

Use the cosine rule to find angle ACB
52.2^{2}= 50^{2}+  70^{2}-(2*50*70*cos(ACB))
2724.84=7400-(7000cos(ACB))
2724.84-7400=-7000cos(ACB)
-4675.16=-7000cos(ACB)
\frac{4675.16}{7000}=cos(ACB)
Angle ACB= cos^{-1} ( \frac{4675.16}{7000})
Angle ACB = 48.1°

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Angle R is 99 degree

Angle Y=48 degrees

Angle T is 33 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let angle T be x

Angle R will be 3x

Angle Y will be x+15

Total=x+3x+x+15=5x+15

5x+15=180

5x=165

x=165/5=33

Therefore, angle T is 33 degrees, angle Y=15+33=48 degrees and angle R=33*3=99 degrees
