The main beam to a circus tent is 75 feet tall and is supported by 120 foot wires that extend to the ground. To the nearest degree, what is the angle that is created from the wire and the ground?

answer is:

1.75 pounds

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

if you need just tell me and i will come to the rescue.
