Using proportions, it is found that 1685% of an hour passes between 11:24 am and 415 am.

<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. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

One hour is composed by 60 minutes. Between 11:24 am and 4:15 am, there are 16 hours and 51 minutes, hence the number of minutes is given by:

M = 16 x 60 + 51 = 1011 minutes.

As a percentage of one hour = 60 minutes, we have that this measure is:

1011/60 x 100% = 1685%.

Hence 1685% of an hour passes between 11:24 am and 415 am.

Answer:

30.1 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a school flag poll casts a 16 foot shadow on the lawn. A teacher stood at the shadows edge and measure the angle of elevation to the top of the poll at 62°. We are asked to find the height of the tall.

First of all, we will draw a diagram to represent our give scenario as shown in the attachment.

We can see that side length with 16 feet is adjacent side and height of the pole (h) is opposite side to angle of elevation.

We know that tangent relates opposite side of a right triangle to its adjacent side.

$\text{tan}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}}$
