A tree is growing on a hill. In an attempt to make the tree grow straight up, a 12-foot-long wire is attached to a tree at a point 6 feet off the ground. The wire is anchored to the ground 10 feet from the base of the tree. At what angle is the tree growing in relation to the hill?

Answer: 8, 2 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: First you have to measure the wire. the wire is 12 feet. and it is 6 feet of the ground so half off the tree and half off the ground. It is 10 feet away from the tree. And then u have the angle 8, 2 degrees.
