Question

In ΔNOP, the measure of ∠P=90°, OP = 31 feet, and NO = 39 feet. Find the measure of ∠N to the nearest tenth of a degree.

Answer 1

m∠N ≈ 52.6°

Explanation:

When we draw out our triangle, we see that in order to find the measure of our angle, we will have to use trig:

sin(x) = 31/39

x = sin^-1(31/39)

x = 52.6431
