Question

An 8 meters bamboo pole is leaning against a coconut tree. The foot of the pole is 3 meters from the base of the tree. What angle does the pole make with the tree if the pole reaches up to the top of the tree?

HELP PLEASE!

Answer 1

So you want the angle at the top of the triangle where the pole touches the tree.
then the "opposite" is 3 and the adjacent is 8

looks like a tan relationship
tanØ = 3/8
Ø = 20.56°

Answer 2

Looks to me like a sin/cos relationship: the 8 is the hypotenuse

sinØ = 3/8
Ø = 22.02°
