use the trigonometri...

OpenStudy (raden_zaikaria):

let that angle is

OpenStudy (raden_zaikaria):

lat thet angle \[\theta = a n g l e\]

OpenStudy (raden_zaikaria):

tangen \[\theta = \frac{ 190 feets }{ 190 feets}\]

OpenStudy (raden_zaikaria):

tangen \[\theta = 1\]

OpenStudy (raden_zaikaria):

\[\theta=\tan^{-1} 1\]

OpenStudy (raden_zaikaria):

answer is \[\theta= 45\]

OpenStudy (raden_zaikaria):

angle is 45 degrees
