Question

A 3m high fence is on the side of a hill and tends to lean over. The hill is inclined at an angle of 20 degree to the horizontal. A 6.3 m brace is to be installed to prop up the fence. It will attached to the fence at a height of 2.5 m and will be staked downhill from the base of the fence. What angle, to the nearest degree, does the brace make with the hill?

Answers

the downhill angle of the fence is 110º ... 90º + 20º

using the law of sines ... sin(Θ) / 2.5 = sin(110º) / 6.3
Could you explain it in a little more depth.
thank you
