To find the angle of elevation, we can use the tangent function.

The equation will be: tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent = 3/8

So, x = tan^(-1)(3/8) = approximately 20.56°.

Therefore, the angle of elevation formed between the board and the lower side of the ditch is approximately 20.56°.

To find the angle of elevation, we can use the tangent function.

The equation will be: tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent = 2.5/6

So, x = tan^(-1)(2.5/6) = approximately 22.62°.

Therefore, the approximate angle of elevation formed by the ramp and the ground is approximately 22.62°.

To find the angle of elevation, we can use the tangent function.

Let y be the height of the bird relative to Mitch's line of sight, which is 12 - 6 = 6 feet.

The angle of elevation x can be calculated using: tan(x) = opposite/adjacent = 6/16

So, x = tan^(-1)(6/16) = approximately 20.56°.

Therefore, the approximate angle of elevation that Mitch is looking up to the bird is 21°.

Given the opposite side is 8, the hypotenuse is 17, and the adjacent side is 15.

To find angle A:
sin(A) = opposite/hypotenuse = 8/17
A = sin^(-1)(8/17) = approximately 29 degrees

To find angle B:
cos(B) = adjacent/hypotenuse = 15/17
B = cos^(-1)(15/17) = approximately 22 degrees

Therefore, m∠A is approximately 29 degrees and m∠B is approximately 22 degrees.

To find the angle θ, we can use the trigonometric functions:

Given: opposite side is 12, hypotenuse is 13, and adjacent side is 5.

Using the values given:
sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenuse = 12/13
θ = sin^(-1)(12/13) ≈ 66.5 degrees

Therefore, the measure of the angle θ is approximately 66.5 degrees.

Given: adjacent side is 25 and opposite side is 20.

To find angle A:
tan(A) = opposite/adjacent = 20/25
A = tan^(-1)(20/25) ≈ 38.7 degrees

To find angle B:
B = 90 degrees - A = 90 - 38.7 ≈ 51.3 degrees

Therefore, m∠A is approximately 38.7 degrees and m∠B is approximately 51.3 degrees.
