Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: A. 62.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, know the distance from the top of the tower to the spot on the ground 750 feet away is 1636 feet.
Now with all lengths of the triangle we can solve for the angle giving us 62.7169723304
Now we round to the tenth as instructed and get an answer of 62.7
Answer: " y = 30° " .
_____________________________________
<u>Note</u>: The sum total of the measure of all angles lying on a straight
line is 180°.
So; x + y + z = 180 .
Given: x = 2y ;
z = 3y ;
__________________
Find the value of: " y " ;
_______________________
Since: x + y + z = 180 ;
Substitute: "2y" for "x" ;
and: "3y" for "z" ;
_______________________
2y + y + 3y = 180 ;
6y = 180 ;
______________________
Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "6" ; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;
___________________________
6y/ 6 = 180 / 6 ;
y = 30 ;
____________________________
Let us check our work;
____________________________
2y + y + 3y = 180 ;
Substitute our solved value: "30" ; for "y" ; in the equation; to see if the equation holds true:
____________________________
2(30) + 30 + 3(30) =? 180 ?
____________________________
60 + 30 + 90 = ? 180 ?
____________________________
90 + 90 = ? 180 ? Yes!
____________________________
Let m <1 = x then
x = 2(90 - x)
x = 180 - 2x
3x = 180
x = 60
M <1 = 60 and m < 2 = 30 degrees answer
