How to figure x in similar triangles

2.2°  

step-by-step explanation:

let θ = the angle of elevation.

tanθ =77/2020

tanθ = 0.038 12

      θ = tan⁻¹0.038 12

      θ = 2.2°

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet

17

step-by-step explanation:

51/3=17

thus 17 is your answer.
