2. Determine the value of theta, to the nearest degree.
3. A kite is on a 25 m string. The kite is directly above a bran that is 18 m away from the person holding the kite string. What angles does the string make with the ground?
4. A construction compnay is building an overpass. The length of the ramp leading to the overpass is 300 m, and the overpass is 10 m above the ground below. Determine the angle of elevation of the ramp.
+526 3. Consider a right angled triangle ABC,
Let AC (length of string from ground) = 25 m ...[AC is hypotenuse]
BC (person to barn distance) = 18 m
cos∠ACB = 18/25
= 0.72
∠ACB = 43.95º
Thus, the string makes 43.95º with the ground.
