Question 311224: The truck of a leaning tree makes an angle of 12 degrees with the vertical. To prevent the tree from falling over, a 35.0 m rope is attached to the top of the tree and is pegged into level ground some distance away. If the tree is 20.0m from its base to its top, calculate the angle the rope makes with the ground to the nearest degree. Answer by nyc_function(2741) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Di you try drawing this stuff?
Try sinx = 20.0/35
Enter 20.0 into calculator and then divide by 35. After that, press the sine inverse key to find your angle represented here by the letter x.
