The minimum length L of a highway sag curve can be computed by where θ 1 is the downhill grade in degrees (θ 1 < 0°), θ 2 is
the uphill grade in degrees (θ 2 > 0°), S is the safe stopping distance for a given speed limit, h is the height of the headlights, and α is the alignment of the headlights in degrees. Compute L for a 55-mph speed limit, where and Round your answer to the nearest foot.

Answer:
The answer to the nearest foot is = 15 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution
The first set taken is to Compute L for a 55-mph speed limit
Given that
L =(θ2 -θ1)/200 (h +S Tan ∝) =
= ( u + 5) 336²/200 (1.9 +336 tan 0.7°)
= 9° (336)²/200 (1.9 +336 tan 0.7°) = 14.7652094
= 15 feet { 9° = 9*π/180 = π/20}

3. two right angles are always congruent.
4. by SAS similarity theorem.
SAS Similarity Theorem states that if two sides in one triangle are proportional to two sides in another triangle and the included angle in both are congruent, then the two triangles are similar.
