A square-cut end of a 1-by-8 piece of wood must be re-cut at a slant. To make the angle of the slant 104o, what angle must be cut off 90o?(In other words, how large is angle ?)
Question
A square-cut end of a 1-by-8 piece of wood must be re-cut at a slant. To make the angle of the slant 104o, what angle must be cut off 90o?(In other words, how large is angle ?)
Solution
To find the angle that must be cut off from the 90°, you subtract the desired angle from 90°.
So, if the desired angle is 104°, you would subtract this from 90°:
90° - 104° = -14°
However, an angle cannot be negative. This means that instead of cutting off an angle from the 90°, you would actually need to add an angle to make the slant 104°. So, the angle you would need to add is 14°.
