Bob is building a wooden cabin that is 30 meters wide. He has wooden beams that are 17 meters long for the roof. He wants to place the roof beams at an angle such that each pair of opposite beams meets exactly in the middle.

What is the angle of elevation, in degrees, of the roof beams?

Based on the information given to us in the question I have created an illustration better demonstrating the situation. We can see that we have the base length and hypotenuse length. Now we need to find the value of x. We can find the value by using the following formula.

[tex]cos(x) = \frac{adjadent}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]cos(x) = \frac{15}{17}[/tex] .... find the inverse by using arccos

[tex]x = arccos(\frac{15}{17} )[/tex]

[tex]x = 28.07[/tex]

Finally, we can see that the degree of the angle x is 28.07°

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
