Question

A 60-foot tree casts a shadow 85 feet long. The sine of the angle between the ground and the line that connects the tip of the shadow to the top of the tree is approximately _____.

Answer 1

so leg A would be 60

leg B would be 85

using this we are able to determine the HYP to be 104.04

so sine = opp/HYP

leg A is the opp in this case

sin(theta) = 60/104.04

sin(theta) = 0.57670126874

when we round to the hundredths place we get 0.58
