A tower that is 111 feet tall casts a shadow 126 feet long. find the angle of elevation of the sun to the nearest degrre

1 answer:

3 0

The angle here is an acute angle at ground level. Then the side adjacent to this angle is 126 feet. The opp. side is the tower, 111 feet tall.

Then

tan theta = opp / adj = 111 / 126. Using the inverse tangent function, we find that the measure of the angle is 0.722 radian or 41 degrees (to the nearest degree).

Answer:

$\displaystyle 15\:feet\:wide \\ 32\:feet\:long$

Step-by-step explanation:

{2 + 2w = l

{94 = 2w + 2l

94 = 2w + 2[2 + 2w]

94 = 2w + 4 + 4w

94 = 4 + 6w

- 4 - 4

_________

$\displaystyle \frac{90}{6} = \frac{6w}{6}$

$\displaystyle 15 = w$ [Plug this back into both equations above to get the length of 32 feet]; $\displaystyle 32 = l$

What is the slope of Y=0?

olganol [36]

The slope is 0!! any horizontal line, like y = 1, y = 2, y = any other number, has a slope of 0. because it's a horizontal line, it's flat, so there isn't any incline or decline. just as a note: vertical lines (x = 1, etc.) have an undefined slope.
