Draw the picture; you have a right triangle. The guy wire is the hypotenuse
You want the length of the base when the side opposite the 41 degree angle
is the tree.
You have an angle and the hypotenuse; the base is the side adjacent to the
41 degree angle.
EQUATION:
cos(41) = adjacent/hypotenuse = x/14
14cos(41) = x
x = 10.57 ft

Solve for x:<br> X=<br> 76⁰<br> 9x+1<br> 40°

7 is the value of x, and 64° is the measure of the unknown angle.

Triangle angles of 76°, (9x+1)°, and 40° are provided.

According to the triangle's "angle sum property," a triangle's angles add up to 180 degrees. Three sides and three angles, one at each vertex, make up a triangle. The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is always 180o, regardless of whether it is acute, obtuse, or right.

One of the most commonly applied properties in geometry is the triangle's angle sum property. Most often, the unknown angles are calculated using this attribute.

Now, the total of a triangle's three angles equals

76°+(9x+1)°+40°= 180°

⇒ 116+9x+1 = 180

⇒ 9x + 117 = 180

⇒ 9x = 63

⇒ x = 7

So, 9x+1=64°

As a result, x is equal to 7 and the unmeasured angle is 64°.
