On a moor, a vertical radio mast \(PQ\) stands on level ground. \(P\) is at the bottom and \(Q\) is at the top.
Two straight ropes run from \(Q\) to two anchors, \(A\) and \(B\), on the ground. \(A\), \(P\) and \(B\) do not lie in a straight line, so the two ropes are in different vertical planes.
\(QA = 25\) m and \(QB = 27\) m.
Rope \(QA\) makes an angle of \(36^\circ\) with the ground.
Work out the size of the angle rope \(QB\) makes with the ground.
Give your answer correct to the nearest degree.
