Question

A playground slide forms a 29 angle with the ground. What angle does the slide form with the vertical wall?

Answer 1

x = 61°

Explanation:

The triangle sum theorem states that all 3 angles in any triangle must add up to 180°. Because we have a 90° angle and a 29° angle, we can set up this equation:

Let unknown angle = x

x = 180 - (90 + 29)

x = 180 - 119

x = 61°

Answer 2

A 61° angle because a triangle’s angles need to add up to 180° and 90+29=119 then 180-119= 61.
