Activity Question 1 When designing a truss, a truss builder might know the base angle measurement and the length of the tie beam needed. The next step is to compute the height of the king post. Let's take a look at some right triangles to see whether knowing the measure of an acute angle of a right triangle and the length of one of the sides is enough to find the lengths of the other two sides. Part A What is the measure of ∠BAC?
