If three of the folded paper angles (each measuring 20°) fit into the angle made by the slide and the ground, we can calculate the angle of the water slide as follows:
\[ 3 \times 20° = 60° \]
Therefore, the angle of the water slide is 60°.
George wanted to measure the angle of a water slide at the lake. He used a sheet of folded paper that formed a 20° angle. He measured and found that three of the folded paper angles would fit in the angle made by the slide and the ground.
Which of the following was the angle of the water slide?
