I need the answer ....

Answer 1

Answer:

12.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

how to:

lets find the angle that corresponds with the 10 foot side.

to do that we add 50 degrees plus 90 degrees (right angle) to get 140 degrees.

as we know, a triangles angles will total 180 degrees, so 180 - 140 = 40 degrees for the angle corresponding to the 10 foot side.

put these into ratios:

Angle A    =    Angle B

side a              side b

now plug in our numbers:

50 degrees     =     40 degrees

        X                       10 feet

Cross multiply:

50 (10 feet) = 40 (x)

solve for x:

500 = 40 (x)

500/40 = x

12.5 = x
