Answer:
40.4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the part that broke away be represented as "x"
Thus, the digram makes a right triangle shape.
The closest total length of tree before the storm = x + 14 ft
Apply trigonometric function to find x.
Reference angle = 58°
Side adjacent to reference angle = 14 ft
Hypotenuse = x
Apply CAH, which is:
Cos 58 = adj/hyp
Cos 58 = 14/x
x * Cos 58 = 14
x = 14/Cos 58
x = 26.4191188 ≈ 26.4 ft
✔️closest total length of tree before the storm = x + 14 ft = 26.4 + 14 = 40.4 ft
Answer:
Part 1) The measure of angle A is 
Part 2) The length side of a is equal to 
Part 3) The length side of b is equal to 
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the measure of angle A
we know that
The sum of the internal angles of a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees
so

substitute the given values



step 2
Find the length of side a
Applying the law of sines

substitute the given values



step 3
Find the length of side b
Applying the law of sines

substitute the given values



71 is the answer. If you round it, it would be 70.
Let's solve for the answer to determine if it is rational.

it is a rational number.
