Roof angle

The house's roof has the shape of an isosceles triangle with arms 4 m long and the size of the base 6 m. How big an angle alpha does its roof make?

Final Answer:

A =  41.4096 °

Step-by-step explanation:

r=4 m z=6 m  a=z/2=6/2=3 m  cos A = a:r  A=π180°arccos(a/r)=π180°arccos(3/4)=41.4096=41°2435"
