8. In the design of a ski chalet, the slant of the roof must be steepenough for the snow to slide off. An architect originally designed theroof to span 45 feet with slanted sides of 36 ft and 30 ft.

He decided it would be better to modify the roof by increasing themeasure of the smaller angle by 10˚ thus increasing the length of theside opposite that angle.a) What is the new angle measure?b) What is the new length of this side?
