Question

Isabella is making a huge flag of her country, the Republic of Seychelles, on a canvas 202020 by 101010 meters long. To do that, she has to draw a diagonal that begins at the bottom-left corner and ends at the right side of the flag, at a height of 777 meters. Since the ends of the diagonal are too far to put a ruler between them, Isabella wanted to find the angle of the diagonal and draw it using a protractor. What is the angle of elevation, in degrees, of the diagonal? Round your final answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

tanA=perpendicular/base
=777/202020

A=tan inverse(777/202020)
A=0.2203 degree
