Question

Find the value of the angle θ rounded to 1 DP.

The diagram is not drawn accurately

Answer 1

Find length opposite to 30deg

Opposite = tan(30)*42

= 24.2

Whole side = 24.2+10

Find angle of 0 + 30deg: (say x)

Tan(x) = 33.2/42

Arctan(0.79) = x

x = 38.3

The angle to find:

38.3-30:

8.3

The angle is 8.3deg.
