a boat is tied to a dock with a 25-foot rope.when the rope is pulled tight, the boat us 18 feet away from the base of the dock.
the rope connects to the boat at the level of the water. what is the measure, to the nearest tenth of a degree, of x, the angle formed by the rope and the surface of the water.
It's easier to look at the first set of numbers and then make a formula from there. so we need x to be zero and y to be 50, which is why the formula listed works.
