Answer:   48°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The shadow is the adjacent side and the length of the flag is the hypotenuse

cos\ \theta=\dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\\\cos\ \theta=\dfrac{10}{15}\\\\\\cos^{-1}(cos\ \theta)=cos^{-1}\bigg(\dfrac{10}{15}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \boxed{\theta=48^o}

Determine the measure of LUXW in the diagram.
mixer [17]

Answer:

  33°

Step-by-step explanation:

Where a transversal crosses parallel lines at right angles, all of the angles at their points of intersection are right angles.

__

Angles at U are right angles, congruent to ∠UXZ. So, acute angle UXW in right triangle UXW is the complement of acute angle UWX:

  ∠UXW = 90° -57° = 33°
