+38 A garden in the shape of a right triangle is bordered on one side by a brick wall, on another side by a wooden fence, and on the third side by grass.
What is the measure of the angle formed by the wooden fence and the grass?

+23252 Using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the grass side: c2 = 132 + 212 ---> c = 24.698 (approx)
For the angle wanted, the adjacent side is the side with the wooden fence and the hypotenuse is the grass side.
Since cos = adj / hyp ---> cos(Angle) = wood / grass = 21 / 24.698 = 0.8503
---> Angle = cos-1 ( 0.8503 ) = 31.76o (approx)
