Let the angle of elevation be θ.


We have a right angled triangle with an opposite of 300.5 ft. (306 - 5.5) and an adjacent of 400 ft. Recalling SOH CAH TOA, tanθ = O/A.
tan(θ) = 300.5/400.
θ = tan^-1(300.5/400).
θ = 36.9°.

Answer: Angle of depression = 33.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of base of the right angle triangle = 450 feet

Length of Frank = 5.5 feet

Length of Statue of Liberty = 306 feet

So, Length of perpendicular = 306-5.5=300.5 feet

So, in triangle , we will apply tangent of triangle:

\tan \theta=\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\\\\tan \theta=\frac{300.5}{450}\\\\\tan \theta=0.6677\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(0.6677)\\\\\theta=33.7^\circ

Hence, Angle of elevation = 33.7° = Angle of depression (By alternate interior angle).

Can someone help with #28
Mariana [72]
It would be 50

130+180= 310

360-310= 50

You get 180 from the missing side by 70 that becomes 180.

Maggie drew triangle and then triangle . Triangle is congruent to triangle only if ∠ is equal to what value?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Angle ABE = 58

Step-by-step explanation:

This would fulfill the AAA theorem, or 3 angles needing to be congruent. We got 58 by subtracting 89 and 62 from 180, then multiplying that answer by 2 (because it occupies both triangles).

If sine theta equals negative square root of three over two and pi less than theta less than three times pi over two, what are t
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Cosine theta equals the negative square root of three over two; tangent theta equals the negative square root of three over three is the correct answer.

<h3>What is angle measurement?</h3>

An angle measure is the measurement of the angle created by two rays or arms at a shared vertex in geometry. A protractor is used to measure angles in degrees (°).

Given data;

sin(1/2) = π/6

The value of the trignometric function are;

cos(π/6) = (√3)/2

tan(π/6) = 1/√3 = (√3)/3

In the second quadrant, where the cosine and tangent signs are both negative, is the angle of interest.

θ = 5π/6

cos(5π/6) = -(√3)/2

tan(5π/6) = -(√3)/3

Hence. cosine theta equals the negative square root of three over two; tangent theta equals the negative square root of three over three is the correct answer.
