See, firs the length was 20cm divided in ratio 2:3, so first distance is (20x2/5=8) after that you have vertical length as 12 so divide it by 2 to get 6cm. After that(2xtan^-1x6/8 to get final answer 73.7

Oh god :( i used 2:3 as 3:2=20:x
that makes my last answer wrong too? but i wrote the formula of the triangle with working two times for both halves of the triangles does that count?
