The angle of elevation from the end of the shadow to the top of the man's head will be 34.077°.

<h3>What is a right-angle triangle?</h3>

It's a form of a triangle with one 90-degree angle that follows Pythagoras' theorem and can be solved using the trigonometry function. The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.

A man who is 5feet 9inches tall casts a shadow of 8feet 6inches.

Assuming that the man is perpendicular to the ground.

5 ft 9 in = 69 in

8 ft 6 in = 102 in

Then the angle of elevation from the end of the shadow to the top of the man's head will be

tan θ = 69/102

θ = tan ⁻¹ (0.676)

θ = 34.077°.

Andrea has 3 tiles. One is a regular octagon, one is a regular pentagon and one is a regular hexagon. Andrea thinks the 3 tiles
HACTEHA [7]

From calculations, we can say that the given tiles will not fit together perfectly.

<h3>How to find the sum of interior angles of a Polygon?</h3>

If the tiles join perfectly at a point, sum of all angles around the joining point should be 360°.

Expression for the measure of the interior angle of a polygon,

Interior angle of a polygon = [(n - 2) * 180]/n

Interior angle of a pentagon = [(5 - 2) * 180]/5 = 108°

Interior angle of a hexagon = [(6 - 2) * 180]/6 = 120°

Interior angle of an octagon = [(8 - 2) * 180]/8 = 135°

To prove that the given tiles fit together perfectly → Sum of all the angles around the common point should be 360°

Sum of all interior angles = 108° + 120° + 135° = 363°

Therefore, given tiles will not fit together perfectly.

Alik [6]
The net cost of call premium can be calculated considering the total amount after taxes deductions times the percentage of the call premium.

Writing the percentage as a decimal number, we get:

10000000 × (1 - 0.35) × 0.09 = 585000

The <span>net cost of the call premium after taxes is 585000$.</span>

Packages of plants are on sale for $6 per package at the Garden Shop. For variety, 3 friends want to buy 5 packages to share. Ho
liubo4ka [24]
-- The plants cost $6 for each package.

-- The friends want to buy 5 packages.
The total cost is (5 x $6)  =  $30 .

-- If the friends divide up the cost equally,
each of them will pay  1/3  of the total cost  =  (1/3 x $30)  =  $10  .
