Answer:

42 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram representation of the problem is a right triangle where:

• The side length opposite the angle θ = 50ft

,

• The length of the hypotenuse = 75ft

From trigonometric ratios:


\sin \theta=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{Hypotenuse}

Therefore:


\begin{gathered} \sin \theta=\frac{\text{5}0}{75} \\ \theta=\arcsin ((50)/(75)) \\ \theta=41.81\degree \\ \theta\approx42\degree \end{gathered}

The angle that the rope makes with ground is 42 degrees ( to the nearest angle).
