That is not a trapezoid, it is a general quadrilateral. All 2-dimensional, 4-sided figures have an internal angle sum of 360 (triangles are 180). So if you assume angles P and Q are right, they are each equal to 90 degrees, for a total of 180.
Subtract: 360 - 180 = 180. We know that S + R must equal 180. If you subtract 180 - 65, you get 115, which is obtuse (greater than 90 degrees). This matches the drawing as the unknown angle is clearly greater than 90. So the answer is 115 degrees.
This is the correct answer to the problem
The function would be h = 270 - 2.5s, where h is the height (in feet) and s it the time (in seconds) that has passed.
The 270 represents the initial value, which is given. We are told that the initial height of the block is 270 feet.
2.5s represents the feet that it has descended. We know the block is lowered at a rate of 2.5 feet per second. Multiplying this by s, the time, will give us how much it has descended.
