Answer:
66.42° between height and hypotenuse
23.58° between base and hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the concept of cosine and sine, we know that cosine of an angle is equal to the adjacent divided by hypotenuse.
Similarly, sine of an angle is given by opposite divided by hypotenuse
Tangent is given by opposite divided by adjacent
In rhis case, we use cosine
Therefore, the angle between the hypotenuse and height is 66.42°
To find the angle between base and hypotenuse, since it is a right angle triangle then the other angle will be 90-66.42=23.58°
