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 we start by combining like terms;
Now we have;
We then subtract 1 from both sides;
Then we divide both sides by 5;
Leaving the final answer to be h = -2
