MONUMENTS The Leaning Tower ofPisa in Italy is about 55.9 meters talland is leaning so it is only about55 meters above the ground. At whatangle is the tower leaning?β
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:79.7 degrees to the nearest tenth.Step-by-step explanation:55.9 is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed by the perpendicular height and the tower itself, and the height is the opposite side to the required angle.So we have sin X = 55/55.9 = 0.9839.X = 79.70.
