The situation in the problem creates a right triangle with a base of 14ft. An angle of 65 degrees means that the triangles has...

A hypotenuse of hyp = \frac{14ft}{cos(45)} = 33.13ft, representing the length of the broken part of the pole.

An opposite of sin(65)*hyp = sin(65)*33.1ft = 30.0ft, representing the height of the part of the flag that still stands.

The total original flag height is the sum of the two parts.
h = 30.0ft + 33.13ft = 63.13ft

Answer:

  angles (W, X, Y) = (77°, 62°, 41°)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>:

  ΔWZY

  ∠W = 2(∠Y) -5°

  ∠X = ∠Y +21°

<u>Find</u>:

  ∠X, ∠Y, ∠W

<u>Solution</u>:

Using angle measures in degrees, we have ...

  ∠X + ∠Y + ∠Z = 180

  (∠Y +21) +∠Y + (2(∠Y) -5) = 180

  4(∠Y) +16 = 180 . . . . . simplify

  ∠Y +4 = 45 . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

  ∠Y = 41 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4

  ∠W = 2(41) -5 = 77

  ∠X = 41 +21 = 62

The angle measures of angles (W, X, Y) are (77°, 62°, 41°), respectively.
