Ok so I’m assuming the question is how the tall is we need to find the Angle of the sun so
Student : 175
Shadow: 2.3
Hypotenuse: 175.0151136
Using -cos(175/175.0151136) we find the
Suns angle: .753 Above him/her
Our tree’s shadow:8.2
Using the suns angle we use cos(x
<h3>
Answer: 80 meters</h3>
This is an isosceles triangle. The dashed line is the height which is perpendicular to the base 120. The height is always perpendicular to the base. The dashed line cuts the base into two equal pieces (this only works for isosceles triangles when you cut at the vertex like this).
So we have two smaller triangles each with a base of 60 and a height of x. Focus on one of the right triangles and use the pythagorean theorem to solve for x.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + (60)^2 = (100)^2
x^2 + 3600 = 10000
x^2 = 10000 - 3600
x^2 = 6400
x = sqrt(6400)
x = 80
Each smaller right triangle has side lengths of 60, 80, 100
Note the ratio 60:80:100 reduces to 3:4:5. A 3-4-5 right triangle is a very common pythagorean primitive.
