The shadow of a vertical tower is 58 feet long when the angles of elevation of the sun is 36 degrees. what is the height of the tower to the nearest foot?

tan(36) = H/58 where H is the height of the tower.
So H = 58*tan(36) = 42 feet.

What are angles that do not share a vertex?
Well it could be complementary or supplementary because they don't have to share a vertex yet I think you mean something like the vertical angle. You can go research vertical angles. I'll give you a link for the vertical angles. http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/vertical-angles.html
Are vertical angles always complementary?
Vertical angles are not always complementary. In some cases, they will congruent and supplementary which makes them add up to 180 degrees.
What do vertical angles add up to?
A vertical angle is perpendicular to a horizontal base and equals 90 degrees
Are vertical angles congruent or supplementary angles?
Vertical angles are always, by definition, congruent. Note: If the two vertical angles are right angles then they are both congruent and supplementary.
What word can be used to describe two intersecting lines whose vertical angles are 90 degrees?
Perpendicular.
Are vertical and supplementary right angles?
No, right angles are 90 degrees, supplementary and vertical angles are 180 degrees.
What makes a pair if angles vertical angles?
the vertical angles are the same angles as well as horizontal angles but vertical and horizontal are most the time different except when they all are 90 degrees.
How are vertical and complementary angles related?
Vertical angles are equal in measure and are formed when two lines intersect. Complementary angles, on the other hand, add up to a total of 90 degrees. They are not directly related, but if two lines intersect and form vertical angles, then the angles adjacent to the vertical angles will be complementary.
Can vertical angles be supplementary angles?
Yes, they can, if they are both 90 degrees.
Can vertical angles be complementary?
Vertical angles must be congruent so if they are complementary, they must be 45 degrees to be complementary.
Are all vertical angles supplementary?
No. All vertical angles will add to an infinite number of degrees, not just 180!
What is the difference between a linear pair and vertical angles?
In a Linear Pair the 2 angles add up to 180 degrees while Vertical Angles are just 2 vertical angles that are congruent.
Do vertical angles equal 90 degrees?
Yes.
Can vertical angles be reflexive?
A reflex angle is one whose measure is greater than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees. Vertical angles can be reflexive.
If two straight lines intersect and one angle is 30 degree's what are the other three vertical angles?
When two nonvertical straight lines intersect they form two congruent pair of nonadjacent angles, which are called the vertical angles (or vertical opposite angles). So that one of the three vertical angles is 30 degrees, and the other two angles have a measure of 150 degrees each, since they are adjacent to a 30 degrees angle.
What is the measure of vertical angles that are supplementary?
supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees
Why can't vertical angles be complmentary?
Since two angles, each = 90 degrees, cannot sum to 90 degrees!
