Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

Let us suppose the sun has angle of elevation x

The triangle formed will be a right triangle, so

tan x= \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

tanx = \frac{6}{8}

taking tan inverse

x=tan^{-1}(\frac{6}{8} )

x=36.87

To the nearest degree, the angle will be 37 degrees.  :   Answer

Hope it will help :)

Solve the system of equations using substitution
Andru [333]

Answer:

x = 136/11 , y = 68/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{6 x - y = 68

2 y = x

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{6 x - y = 68

2 y = x

Hint: | Reverse the equality in 2 y = x in order to isolate x to the left hand side.

2 y = x is equivalent to x = 2 y:

{6 x - y = 68

x = 2 y

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute x = 2 y into the first equation:

{11 y = 68

x = 2 y

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the first equation, look to solve for y:

{11 y = 68

x = 2 y

Hint: | Solve for y.

Divide both sides by 11:

{y = 68/11

x = 2 y

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute y = 68/11 into the second equation:

{y = 68/11

x = 136/11

Hint: | Sort results.

Collect results in alphabetical order:

Answer: {x = 136/11 , y = 68/11

Draw the line of reflection that reflects quadrilateral ABCD onto quadrilateral A'B'C'D'
MArishka [77]

The two points are (-4, -2) and (4, 5) and the equation of the line is 8y = 7x + 12 passing through the two points.

<h3>What is geometric transformation?</h3>

It is defined as the change in coordinates and the shape of the geometrical body. It is also referred to as a two-dimensional transformation. In the geometric transformation, changes in the geometry can be possible by rotation, translation, reflection, and glide translation.

We have a quadrilateral ABCD which is reflected over a line and formed a mirror image A'B'C'D' of the quadrilateral.

From the graph:

The two points are (-4, -2) and (4, 5)

The line equation passing through two points:

[y - 5] = (5+2)/(4+4)[x - 4]

y - 5 = 7/8[x - 4]

8y - 40 = 7x - 28

8y = 7x + 12

Thus, the two points are (-4, -2) and (4, 5) and the equation of the line is 8y = 7x + 12 passing through the two points.

Find two consecutive even integers such that 3 times the smaller integer is 16 more than twice the larger
Verdich [7]

n, n + 2 - two consecutive even integers

3n = 2(n + 2) + 16     |use distributive property

3n = (2)(n) + (2)(2) + 16

3n = 2n + 4 + 16

3n = 2n + 20     |subtract 2n from both sides

n = 20

n + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22

Answer: 20, 22.
