Sagot :

[tex]Length\ and\ high\ make\ with\ horizontal\ rectangular\ triangle\\\\ Length \is \ hypotenuse\ \\\ high\ and\ horizontal\ are\ cathetuses.\\\\ \angle\ \alpha\ between\ length\ and\ horizontal=?\\ sin \alpha =\frac{10}{44}\\ sin \alpha \approx0,227\\ \alpha \approx\ arcsin0,227\approx\ 13^\circ [/tex]
