can anyone check my answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Two birds sit at the top of two different trees 17.8 feet away from one another. The distance between the first bird and a bird watcher on the ground is 37.4 feet. What is the angle measure, or angle of depression, between this bird and the bird watcher? 25.5° 64.5° 28.4° <--- my answer 61.6°

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

cos x = 17.8/37.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know that part i'm just not sure if my answer is correct @IrishBoy123

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

i get a different answer. thus, if we agree on the method, maybe you just need to run yours through your calculator again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk how to do it in my caalculator so i think that's why i'm getting it wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You should use the inverse function of cossine. \[x=arccos\left(\frac{17.8}{37.4}\right)\] \[\boxed{\boxed{\therefore~x=61.6^o}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thatnk you co much i appreciate your help @D3xt3R

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you check the rest of mine i got more and i did them just no sure if my answer is correct @D3xt3R

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The picture shows a barn door. What is the length of the support AB?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[6\sqrt{3}~ft\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9 by tan 60 degrees 9 sin 60° 9 cos 60° 9 by sin 60 these are the answer choices if it helps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[9*sin(60^o)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i had already done it and i meant D and accidently said b but i got it right thank you thought @laurisve
