|dw:1353687825684:dw|$\tan \theta=\frac{AB}{BC}$

4. hba Group Title

It is given that |BC|=115 feet and |AB|=190 feet We have to find $\theta=?$

5. hba Group Title

Use the formula that @ujjwal Has provided and solve for the Angle :)

Then leave it @ujjwal Until @Cortney95 returns.

Sorry had to help family with something. My decimal was1.652173913

17. hba Group Title

No problem @Cortney95 ,It is better you show me your working so I can indicate where you go wrong.

18. hba Group Title

@Cortney95 You there ?

19. Cortney95 Group Title

I divided 190/150 and got that as a decimal since you said earlier that I should divide ab/bc and Ab=190 and Bc=115

20. hba Group Title

Look $\tan \theta=\frac{ AB }{ BC }$ and $\theta=\tan^{-1} \ (\frac{ AB }{ BC })$

21. Cortney95 Group Title

Ohh

22. hba Group Title

@Cortney95 I hope now you get it :)

23. Cortney95 Group Title

I do thx
