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°

The first term of a sequence is a multiple of 3 The second term of this sequence is 6 less than the first term. The third term i
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

First term = 15

Second term = 9

Third term =  3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

First term = 3x

Second term = 3x - 6

Third term =  \frac{1}{5} (3x) =  \frac{3x}{5}

Also,

3x -  \frac{3x}{5}  = 12

\frac{15x}{5}  -  \frac{3x}{5}  = 12

\frac{15x - 3x}{5}  = 12

15x - 3x = 12 \times 5

12x = 60

x =  \frac{60}{12}

x = 5

With the value of x, we conclude that the first three terms are as follows:

First term = 3x = 3×5 = 15

Second term = 3x - 6 = 15 - 6 = 9

Third term = \frac{3x}{5} =\frac{15}{5}= 3

Figure below shows two triangles EFG and KLM​
Vesna [10]

Answer:

last option

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove that ΔEFG is also a right triangle, you must prove that KL = EF so that in ΔKLM c² = a² + b² which would make ΔEFG a right triangle.
