Question

4. The dimensions of a beanbag toss game are given in the diagram below.

At what angle, θ, is the target platform attached to the frame, to the nearest degree?
a. 19 b. 36 c. 65 d. 25

Answer 1

D) 25°

Explanation:

33 is opposite of θ and 72 is adjacent to θ, so we'll need to use the tangent ratio to solve for θ:

`\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}}=(33)/(72)\\\\\theta=\tan^(-1)\biggr((33)/(72)\biggr)\approx25^\circ`
