A 45-foot tall tree is leaning towards a house, making an 86° angle with the ground. To stop the tree from leaning further, a cable is tied from the top of the tree and secured to a point on the ground 30 feet from the tree, opposite from the house. What angle does the cable make with the ground? OGina Wilson (AI Things Algebrab, LLC), 2018 Page
