help please? :3
angle? Straight. You're walking in a vertical line bobsue! c:
Suddenly, you see flashing lights in the distance. You turn due west to 270 degrees. What is the angle formed by the turn in your new direction?
90 degree angle. Right angle.
You are now at the Western tip of the Island. You turn around and see a helicopter in the sky heading towards the other side of the Island. You head due East to 90 degrees. What is the measurement of the interior angle formed by your new direction?
@mathmale What is an Interior angle?
Supposing you were to draw a triangle. Any angle INSIDE that triangle is an "interior angle." You might want to do an Internet search for "interior angle" to be certain that you have the correct definition of "interior angle."
Her question speaks of only 1 interior angle, and the path she walks in is not a closed shape.
You reach the Eastern tip of the Island and see the helicopter landing further south. You run in that direction. What kind of interior angle is formed from the Eastern part of the Island to the Southeastern (SE) tip of the Island? What is its measurement?
Two suggestions for you: 1) Graph the situation. Wasn't a diagram included with this problem? 2) Look up "interior angle" on the internet, to determine what this means when we are NOT talking about a closed figure.
okay?
I'm asuming it's an acute angle. That is if the island is mostly circular.
