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°

What is the common ratio for the sequence 5,-10,20,-40?
algol [13]

Answer:

The COMMON RATIO of the sequence is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given sequence  is:

5, -10, 20 ,-40

Here, The first term ( a 1 ) of the sequence is (5)

The second term (a 2) of the sequence is (-10)

Third term of sequence (a 3) is 20

Now, calculating the common ratio (r) of sequence ,we get:

\frac{a_2}{a_1} =  r  = (\frac{-10}{5}) = -2\\\frac{a_3}{a_2} =r  = (\frac{20}{-10}) = -2

So, here r =(-2)

⇒ The COMMON RATIO of the sequence is -2.

Hence, the given sequence in in GEOMETRIC PROGRESSION.

Answer:

280 ft squared

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the nonshaded portion, we can find the area of the entire floor and then subtract the shaded area.

The total area is that of a rectangle: 30 * 15 = 450 ft squared.

Now, the shaded region is made up of a rectangle and a triangle.

- The rectangle has length 8 and width 10, so its area is 10 * 8 = 80 ft squared.

- The triangle has base 12 and height 15, so using the area of a triangle formula: A=(bh)/2 (where b is the base and h is the height) = (12 * 15)/2 = 180/2 = 90 ft squared.

- The total shaded region is: 80 + 90 = 170 ft squared

Subtract 110 from 450: 450 - 170 = 280 ft squared.

Thus, the answer is 280 ft squared.

Hope this helps!
