Algebra.Com's Answer #569269 by Alan3354(69443) You can put this solution on YOUR website! A triangle has its vertices at A(7,4), B(1,7) and C(-3,4). What is the interior angle (to the nearest degree) at vertex A? \n" ); document.write( "----------- \n" ); document.write( "AC is \"horizontal\" - parallel to the x-axis \n" ); document.write( "--> the altitude from B intersects AC at D(1,4) \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "The length of AD is 6. \n" ); document.write( "The length of BD is 3. \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "tan(A) = 3/6 \n" ); document.write( " |
