Two cables are attached to a 30-foot wall and a 22-foot wall. If the tie down for the cables is located in the center of a 40-foot wide alley between the two walls, what is the angle \thetaθ that is formed between the cables? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

76°

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying trigonometry :

Angle x ;

Tan x = opposite / adjacent

Tan x = (30/20)

x = tan^-1(30/20)

x = 56.31°

Angle y;

Tan y = opposite / adjacent

Tan y = (22/20)

x = tan^-1(22/20)

x = 47.73°

The angle θ ;

Sum of angles in a straight line = 180

56.31 + 47.73 + θ = 180°

θ = 75.96°

all it means is function 3
