Answer:
Angle = 35°
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The figure would form a triangle and the tree will divide it into two 90 degree triangles.</em>
<em>Height of the triangles will be 8 feet which is opposite to the angle you have to find.</em>
<em>Hypotenuse of both 90 degree triangles will be 14 feet.</em>
<u><em>To find the angle, use the sin formula</em></u>
sin (angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
angle = ?
opposite = 8
hypotenuse = 14
sin (angle) = 8/14
angle = sin inverse (0.57)
angle = 34.8° rounded off to 35°
The angle will be the same for both triangles.
Therefore, the acute angle each triangle makes with the ground is 35°.
