Let x= distance to fire

tan29 = 24/x
x tan29 =24
x = 24/tan29
x= 43.30m (2dp)

How to find the measure of angels

Travka [436]

To find the measure<span> of the smallest angle of the triangle, we multiply 4 times 10. So, 4 x 10 = 40. Remember, the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. Just take what you are given in a problem and try to </span>determine<span> what will make the final angle add up to 180 degrees.</span>
