Question 185261: I'm very confused!
Please help!
The Equations I know are:
Theta = arch length/radius
Angular velocity = theta/time
1. A tower that is 65 m high makes an obtuse angle with the ground. The vertical distance from the top of the tower to the ground is 59 m. What obtuse angle does the tower make with the ground, to the nearest hundredth of a radian?

I think you meant to type the horizontal distance not vertical distance.
The tower is 65 m high.
Now, 59 m away, the tower makes an angle that I will call x.
We can use the tangent function to find the angle measure.
tan(x) = 65/59
DO THIS ON YOUR CALCULATOR:
a-divided 65 by 59
b-press the tangent inverse key because you are searching for an angle
c-round your decimal answer to the nearest hundredths
Can you take it from here?
