a zip line consists of a pulley attached to a cable that is strung at an angle between two objects. in the zip line at the right one end of the cable is attached to a tree. the other end is attached to a post parallel to the tree. what is the measure of <1 and the the given angle represent
can a triangle have parallel line segments ? explain your answer
In the scenario you described, <1 represents the angle formed between the cable and the tree (or post). This angle is important to understand because it determines the steepness or slope of the zip line.
To measure angle <1, you will need a protractor. Here's how you can do it:
1. Place the protractor on the surface of the cable, with one of its sides aligned with the cable itself.
2. Make sure the center of the protractor is positioned at the point where the cable connects with the tree or post.
3. Look at the scale on the protractor and locate the zero-degree mark.
4. Follow the scale until you reach the line that aligns with the other side of the protractor.
5. The angle reading where this line intersects the protractor scale is the measure of <1.
Voila! Now you have the measurement of angle <1.
