Write an equation that can be used to find 푚∠푀. Then, solve it. Round to the nearest degree.

M = 27 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

sin M = opp side/ hypotenuse

Sin M = 5/11

Take the inverse sin of each side

sin ^-1  sin M = sin ^1 (5/11)

M = 27.03569179

To the nearest degree

M = 27 degrees

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,
