<h3>Answer: C) 12</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. I'm using the points A,B,C,D,E to help label the triangles, and to label the angles as well.

For now, let's focus on triangle DEC.

The top most angle is given as D = 65. Note how the angles D and E are opposite the congruent lines (marked with the red single tickmarks). This means that angles D and E are congruent to one another. So E = 65 as well. This is shown in the diagram below.

For now we don't know what angle C is, so we'll call it y. More specifically, we'll make y the measure of angle DCE.

For any triangle, the three angles always add to 180

y+65+65 = 180

y+130 = 180

y = 180-130

y = 50

So angle DCE is 50 degrees.

-------------------------------

Now we move onto triangle ABC.

Because angles DCE and ACB are vertical angles, this makes angle ACB 50 degrees also. Effectively, anywhere you see a 'y' in the diagram below, replace it with 50.

So triangle ABC has the three angles y = 50, y = 50 and 7x-4

We can solve for x like so

y+y+(7x-4) = 180

50+50+(7x-4) = 180

7x+96 = 180

7x = 180-96

7x = 84

x = 84/7

x = 12

This points to choice C as the final answer.

Answer:

  38.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle solver can give an answer easily. The angle is 38.5°.

__

The law of cosines can be written to solve for an unknown angle C opposite side 'c' and flanked by sides 'a' and 'b'.

  C = arccos((a² +b² -c²)/(2ab))

Here, we have a=35, b=48, c=30, so the angle is ...

  C = arccos((35² +48² -30²)/(2·35·48)) = arccos(2629/3360) ≈ 38.515°

The angle the cable makes with the pole is about 38.5°.
