If you travel 200 feet at an angle of 5 degrees what would be your altitude?

The tangent of 4 degrees would be equal to x/200, where x is the altitude in feet.
tan(5) = x/200
tan(5)*200 = x
x is about 17.4977, so, if you started at 0 feet, your altitude would be about 17.4977 feet.

What angle is 8 degree?
An angle that is 8 degrees would be an "acute" angle. This is because it is less than 90 degrees. Anything above 90 degrees would be an "obtuse" angle.
What angle is 110 degress?
An angle that is 110 degrees would be considered an "obtuse" angle. It is considered this because its measurements exceed 90 degrees. Any angle below 90 degrees would be an "acute" angle.
what angle is 180?
An angle that is 180 degrees would be considered a straight angle. 90 degrees is a right angle, anything less would be an acute angle and anything more would be obtuse.
What type of an angle has 230?
An angle of 230 degrees is a reflex angle.
Is a angle a right angle?
An angle would only be a right angle if it was equal to 90 degrees. Anything less than that would be an acute angle and anything more would be obtuse.
What angle would compliment 73 degrees?
An angle of 17 degrees would.
What angle would supplement 36 degrees?
An angle of 144 degrees would.
What angle measures 160 degrees?
An angle that is 160 degrees would be an "obtuse" angle. This is because the measurement of degrees exceeds 90. Anything below 90 degrees would be an "acute" angle.
Which angle is 128 degrees?
A 128 degree angle would be an "obtuse" angle. This is because the angle measurement exceeds 90 degrees. Anything below 90 degrees would be considered an "acute" angle.
What angle is 8 degree?
An angle that is 8 degrees would be an "acute" angle. This is because it is less than 90 degrees. Anything above 90 degrees would be an "obtuse" angle.
How would you construct an isosceles triangle if only given the altitude to the base and a base angle?
Start with the altitude (height) and draw that. Draw the actual length of the altitude on your paper, or draw it to scale. Naturally you'll draw it down the middle of your paper parallel to the sides (perpendicular to the bottom) of your paper. Now that you have your altitude, draw a line perpendicular to it across the bottom. Your base will be on that, but we don't know how big it is yet. Let's work with your base angle, but indirectly. You have a vertical line perpendicular to another line. There are two right angles formed, one on each side of the vertical line. If you could draw in one side of your isosceles triangle, you'd have a right triangle that represents half your isosceles triangle. The altitude divides your isosceles triangle exactly in half down the middle. This right triangle will, like all triangles, have interior angles that add up (sum) to 180 degrees. Now we use the base angle. You have the 90 degree angle, and the base angle. That base angle and the "top" angle will add up to 90 degrees, and that's so that these two angles and the 90 angle where the altitude meets the base will add up to 180 degrees. That means the base angle and the top angle will have to add up to 90 degrees. Subtract your base angle from 90 degrees and you'll have your "top" angle. Get you protractor, place it at the top of your altitude, and mark the "top" angle. Now draw a line from the top of the altitude on this angle you set, and continue it to the base. That's one side of your triangle. Repeat this on the other side and your isosceles triangle will appear.
What angle is 110 degress?
An angle that is 110 degrees would be considered an "obtuse" angle. It is considered this because its measurements exceed 90 degrees. Any angle below 90 degrees would be an "acute" angle.
What angle is 6 degrees?
That would be an acute angle as the degrees are under 90.
What angle is 7 degrees?
That would be an acute angle as the degrees are under 90.
What angle is 74 degrees?
That would be an acute angle as the degrees are under 90.
What angle is 88 degrees?
That would be an acute angle as the degrees are under 90.
What angle measures 145 degrees?
An angle that measured 145 degrees would be considered an "obtuse" angle because its measurement exceeds 90 degrees. Anything below 90 degrees would be considered an "acute" angle.
