The angle of elevation of the sun from the ground to the top of a tree is 36°.

We are given that:

The sun from the ground to the top of a tree when a tree that is 10 yards tall casts a shadow 14 yards long.

Now by using the trigonometric identity .

tan θ = P / B

As figure is  given below .

AB =  Perpendicular = 10 yards

BC =  Base = 14 yards

Putting all the values in the trigonometric identity .

tan θ = 10 / 14

θ = 36°

Therefore, the angle of elevation of the sun from the ground to the top of a tree is 36°.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

σ = 4 ; μ =?

8.52 to the left of X

.

P(X < 8.52) = 64.8%

P(X < 8.52) = 0.648

Using the Z relation :

(x - μ) / σ

P(Z < (8.52 - μ) / 4)) = 0.648

The Z value of 0.648 of the lower tail is equal to 0.38 (Z probability calculator)

Z = 8.52 - μ / 4

0.38 = 8.52 - μ / 4

0.38 * 4 = 8.52 - μ

1.52 = 8.52 - μ

μ = 8.52 - 1.52

μ = 7

Using the figure, find x and y
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

  • x = 8
  • y = 2√3

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is recognizable as a 30°-60°-90° right triangle, which has side length ratios ...

  1 : √3 : 2

Side x is thus twice the length of short side 4, so x = 8.

Side y is √3 times the length of short side x-6 = 2, so y = 2√3.

_____

If you don't happen to recognize the triangle dimensions, you can find x and y using the Pythagorean theorem.

  x = √(4² +(4√3)²) = √64 = 8

  y = √(4² -2²) = √12 = 2√3
