Applying the tangent ratio, the angle of elevation of the sun, to the nearest degree, is: 36°.

<h3>What is the Tangent Ratio?</h3>

In a right triangle, tan ∅ = opposite length / adjacent length is the tangent ratio.

Given the following:

  • Angle of elevation = ∅
  • Opposite length = 125 ft
  • Adjacent length = 172 ft

Apply the tangent ratio:

tan ∅ = 125/172

tan ∅ = 125/172

∅ = tan^(-1)(125/172)

∅ ≈ 36°

Whats equivalent to 14(8−6x+12)
iren2701 [21]
We can use the distributive property to set up an expression that is equal to this problem. 

14 times 8 is 112
14 times -6 is -84x
14 times 12 is 168
(If you don't know the distributive property ask and I can explain it)

We can combine that together to get:

112 +168 -84x
Or, condense it further:

280-84x is equivalent to 14(8-6x+12)
