Answer:

32.7 degress

Explanation:

In this question we are to find the value of the angle

The best way to do with the information given is the cosine rule

Mathematically that would be;

y^2 = x^2 + z^2 -2xzCosY

where x = 90 ft , y = 55ft and z = 50 ft

Plugging the values we have;

55^2 = 90^2 + 50^2-2(90)(50)CosY

-7575 = -9000cosY

cosY = 7575/9000

cosY = 0.841666666667

Y = cos^-1 0.841666666667

Y = 32.68 degrees which is 32.7 to the nearest tenth
