A board is leaning against a vertical wall. One end of the board rests on the ground at a point eight feet from the wall. The ot
her end of the board touches the wall at a point that is six feet above the ground.
35 POINTS!Use a trigonometric function to determine the angle that the board creates with the ground (m∠A). In at least four sentences, explain why you chose your specific function and how it applies to the measure of angle A. Be sure to include the key vocabulary words "tangent", "ratio", "opposite side", "adjacent side" and "angle measure" in your response. Describe each computational step in complete sentences.

We have that F is proportional to m1. Hence, we have that F=m1*c when we change the first mass. We also have that F=m2*c when we only change the 2nd mass. Since F scales inversely with the square of the distance, we have that 
. Combining all of the facts above, we get that F=c*
where c is a constant.
