The height of the building is calculated by representing 1 inch as 8 feet. The final building has a height of 20 feet.

<h3>What is scaling?</h3>

Scaling is the increase or decrease in the height of an object by a scale factor k.

Given that the scale used is:

1 inch = 8 feet. Hence:

Since the height of the building is 2.5 in, hence:

Height of the final building = 2.5 in * 8 ft per 1 in = 20 feet

The height of the final building is 20 feet.

Using proportions, we have that:

The height of the building is found using a rule of three.
The height is of 20 feet.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The scale is of 1 inch = 8 feet. What is the height for 2.5 inches? The <em>rule of three</em> is given by:

1 inch - 8 feet.

2.5 inches - x feet

Applying cross multiplication, the height in feet of the final building is given by:

x = 8 x 2.5 = 20 feet.

A 20 ft flag pole casts a shadow 32 ft long. What is the angle of elevation of the sun?

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

<em>The angle of elevation of the sun is 32°</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Right Triangles</u>

The flagpole and the ground form a right angle (90°). In triangles with right angles, the trigonometric ratios are satisfied.

Each acute angle has an adjacent leg and an opposite leg. The tangent ratio relates to both legs.

$\displaystyle \tan x=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}$

The opposite leg to angle x is 20 ft and the adjacent leg is 32 ft, thus:

$\displaystyle \tan x=\frac{20}{32}=0.625$

Calculate x by using the inverse tangent:

$x=\arctan 0.625$

$x=32^\circ$

The angle of elevation of the sun is 32°

ln 5
e = ?
x
Keep in mind that y=e and y = ln x are inverse functions of one another.
ln 5
e , we can drop both the "e" and the "ln 5." We are left with 5 (answer).
ln 5
Alternatively, we could take the ln of both sides of y = e

which will result in ln y = (ln 5) ln e. Note that ln e = 1 (these two functions are inverses of one another).

Then we are left with ln y = ln 5. Dropping the "ln" operator from both sides,

y=5 (same as before).
