A tire swing hangs straight down. Then a child gets on, swings forward 50°, and swings back 95°. How many degrees forward must the swing go to return to its starting position?

Respuesta :

Let's draw a picture of the problem:

From the picture above, we can see that the difference (x) between the second and third position is

[tex]95-50=x[/tex]

which gives

[tex]x=45[/tex]

How many degrees forward must the swing go to return to its starting position? ​Answer: 45 degrees forward
