All the angles inside a triangle add up to 180°.
(2x + 15) + (5x + 5) + x = 180
8x + 20 = 180
8x = 180 - 20
8x = 160
x = 160/8
x = 20
the question is asking what angle B is,
B = 2(20) + 15
B = 40 + 15
B = 55°
Important:
The sum of the three angles inside
every triangle is always 180°.
First, look at the left triangle alone.
Two of its angles are 46° and 58° . (46° + 58° ) = 104°
That leaves (180° - 104° ) = 76° degrees for the third angle.
The third angle in that triangle is 'x'.
x = 76° .
At the point where 'x' and 'z' come together:
'x' and 'z' are a "linear pair".
Placed side-by-side, they form a straight line.
So (x + z) = 180° .
But x = 76°.
So z = (180° - 76°). z = 104° .
Now look at the the skinny triangle on the right alone.
The angle at the top is 13°, and z = 104°.
(13° + 104°) = 117° .
That leaves (180° - 117°) = 63° for the third angle.
'y' is the third angle.
y = 63° .
If it's described as my drawing:
The distance of downstream will be 375 * tan25 = 174.87 feet
