What is the angle of elevation of the sun when a pole 32.0 ft tall casts a shadow 45.0 ft long

As you can see in the first drawing, the vertical line represents the pole which is 32.0 ft long and the horizontal line represents the shadow casted by the pole which is 45.0 ft long. The angle θ, represents the angle of elevation of the sun.

We can solve this problem using trigonometric ratios, that is sine, cosine, and tangent. Remember SOH CAH TOA?

SOH

sin =  \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

CAH

cosine =  \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

TOA

tan =  \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

In this case, we're going to use TOA since we are given the height of the pole which represents the line opposite the angle of elevation, and the length of the shadow of the pole which represents the line adjacent to the angle of elevation.

adjacent, a = 45.0

opposite, o = 32.0

So, to find the angle of elevation, refer to the second picture above.

Please help me now plz
sergey [27]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

The right side is a right triangle

The base is 1/2 of the bottom or 5

The height is x and the hypotenuse is 13

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

5^2 +x^2=13^2

25+x^2 = 169

Subtract 25 from each side

25-25+x^2 = 169-26

x^2 =144

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(144)

x= 12
