Answer:
Angle θ would be about 17.1 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
To figure out what Angle θ is, first we have to find the hypotenuse. You can easily do that by find the square root of BC² + AC².
c = √4² + 13²
Square 4 and 13 to get 16 and 169 respectively.
c = √16 + 169
Add 16 and 169 to get 185.
c = √185
Find the square root of 185 (I'll round to the nearest tenth.)
c = 13.60147 ≈ 13.6 units
To find angle β, divide AC by AB and find the inverse sine of that.
β = arcsin(13/13.6)
Divide 13 by 13.6. Round to the nearest thousandth.
β = arcsin(0.955)
β ≈ 1.2723 rad
To convert radians to degrees, multiply the radians by 57.2957795 for an approximate amount.
β ≈ (1.2723 * 57.2957795)°
β ≈ 72.8974203 ≈ 72.9 degrees
Now subtract 72.9 from 90 to get angle θ's measure of 17.1 degrees.
