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°

Answer:

Stratified Random sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

When a random observations are selected from a number of individual groups in a particular population, the type of sampling technique is called Stratified Random sampling. Stratified Random sampling begins with the partitioning or splitting or a population into subgroups. A number of random selection are then made from each of the subgroups to form a collection of larger samples. This is different from the simple random sampling technique which makes random selection directly from a larger sample or population without prior partitioning of the population. The different grades of students represents the individual stratum from which random selections are made.
