Question

A 50-meter cable is secured at the top of the tower and tied 30 meters away from

the base. What angle does the cable form with the ground?

Answer 1

53.13 degrees to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

We know the adjacent side and the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

So cos x = 30/50 = 0.6

The required angle x = 53.13 degrees.
