Answer:

Approx. 11 ft. See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent function is the easiest tool to use here. tan 24 degrees = opp / adj = (5 ft) / x. We are to find x. Multiplying both sides of this equation by x, we get x * tan 24 degrees = 5 ft. Thus, x = (5 ft) / (tan 24 degrees) = 11.23 ft, or approx. 11 ft.

Answer:

a = 53

Step-by-step explanation:

A bisector creates two equal angles. Set them equal to each other.

5a - 160 = 2a - 1 ( subtract 2a from both sides)

3a = 159 (add 159 to both sides)

a = 53 (divide by 3)
