Answer:
Explanation:
The length PN is the diagonal of a rectangle that is 33 m by 60 m. Its length can be found from the Pythagorean theorem.
PN² = 33² +60² = 4689
PN = √4689 ≈ 68.476 . . . meters
Diagonal NS is the hypotenuse of triangle PNS. Once again, the Pythagorean theorem can be used to find its measure.
NS² = PN² +PS² = 4689 +1600 = 6289
NS = √6289
NS ≈ 79.3 . . . meters

We have the side adjacent (PN) and the side opposite (PS) to angle PNS, so we can use the tangent function to find the angle:
tan(PNS) = NS/PN = 40/68.476
∠PNS = arctan(40/68.476)
∠PNS ≈ 30.3°
