Help plzzz plzzz asappp!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

α = 27.9794744° ≈ 28.0 m (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Opposite (O) = 42.5 (the side opposite to the reference angle, α)

Adjacent (A) = 80

Hypotenuse (H) = the longest side opposite to the right angle

2. We are given the adjacent (A) and opposite (O) lengths, we would use TOA. Which is:

Tan α = Opp/Adj

Plug in the values

Tan α = 42.5/80

3. Make α stand alone

α = $tan^{-1}(\frac{42.5}{80})$

4. α = 27.9794744° ≈ 28.0 m (nearest tenth)
