Answer 8

Theta is the 49 degree angle, so which side is the hypotenuse and which is the opposite side?

Answer 9

Okay, Angle C is 49 degrees. Triangles have 180 degrees, so we know that (180-90-49) = 41. That's angle A.

To find the height of the wall, we can use tangent, since we're finding an opposite side and we have an adjacent side. To set this up,

tan(41) = x/3
3*tan(41) = x
x= 2.607.

Now that we have the distance from the plank to the wall, we can use Pythagorean formula to find the hypotenuse.

c^2=2.607^2+3^2
c^2 = (6.796) + 9
c = sqrt (15.796) = 3.97.

Now you have all your side lengths and angles. To recap,

<A = 41
<B = 90
<C = 49 (given)

A->B = 3ft (given)
B->C = 2.607
C->A = 3.97

Good luck!
