Question

Steve was trying to make it back to base. However he did not want to

travel through the Dark Oak Forrest. He moved 86 blocks vertically,

then he moved 44 blocks horizontally to arrive at the base. If Steve was

braver, he could have walked diagonally through the forrest. At what

angle, C, with the horizontal does the diagonal path make? Show all

work; only worked typed into the space below will be graded. (9

Answer 1

Angle C = 62.90°

Explanation:

As given,

The perpendicular = 86

Base = 44

As, we know that

tan(C) =
`(Perpendicular)/(Base) = (86)/(44) = 1.9545`

⇒C =
`tan^(-1)`(1.9545) = 62.90°

∴ we get

Angle C = 62.90°

The graph is as follows :
