A bird sits at the top of a 24 foot tall
tree. The bird is seen by a cat which is
standing 12 feet away from the tree.
To the nearest degree, what is the
angle of elevation from the cat to the
bird?

answer: (c) m∠qpo + (2x + 16)° = 180°

step-by-step explanation:

the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary.

so, ∠o + ∠q = 180°   and   ∠p + ∠r = 180°

since ∠r = 2x + 16°, we can use substitution as follows:

∠p + ∠r = 180°

∠p + (2x + 16)° = 180°
