A ramp is being built and attached to a building to help with deliveries. The angle that the bottom of the ramp makes with the g
round is 37.2°. Find the measure of the other acute angle.
1 answer:
Answer: The measure of the other acute angle is 52.8°
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation described forms a right triangle ( see attachment) , we know that the three interior angles of a right triangle add up to 180 degrees.
The value of one angle is given = 37.2°.
Since is a right angle it has also a right angle of 90°.
So we can write an equation:
x + 37.2 + 90 = 180
Where x is the measure of the other acute angle.
Solving for x:
x = 180-90-37.2
x = 52.8°

So...notice first off, the 0.6 has 1 decimal, the 0.0024 has 4 decimals
what happens is, the dot goes poof BUT, you need to add as many zeros to each number as the other's decimals.
the 0.6 has one decimal, so 0.0024 gets an added zero and loses the dot, to become 000240.
the 0.0024 has four decimals, thus the 0.6 gets added 4 zeros then, and loses the dot, to become 060000
and then you divided that, those are the dividend and divisor.
