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

Nostrana [21]3 years ago

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 meee im being timed on thisss
sattari [20]

Answer:

y=0.25x

We can think of k as an unknown number.

8×_=2.00

12×_=3.00

20×_=5.00

If we divide 2 with 8 we are left with 0.25.

It's the same for the other numbers so we know the constant is 0.25.

When we use the formula y=0.25x with the numbers above, it is correct.

8×0.25=2.00

12×0.25=3.00

20×0.25=5.00

Given that (-3,-3) is on the graph of f(x), find the corresponding point for the function f(x)-5
nexus9112 [7]
We have the following function and point:
 The originial function is f (x).
 The original function contains the point (-3, -3).
 The transformation f (x) - 5 shifts the graph 5 units to the bottom.
 Therefore, the new point is:
 (-3, -3-5) = (-3, -8)
 Answer:
 
the corresponding point for the function f (x) -5 is:
 
(-3, -8)

A veterinarian has 70 clients who own cats, dogs, or both. Of these clients, 36 own cats, including 20 clients who own both cats
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The three statements are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete:

<em>A veterinarian has 70 clients who own cats, dogs, or both. Of these clients, 36 own cats, including 20 clients who own both cats and dogs. Which of the following statements must be true? Indicate all such statements.</em>

<em>A. There are 54 clients who own dogs.</em>

<em>B. There are 34 clients who own dogs but not cats.</em>

<em>C. There are 16 clients who own cats but not dogs.</em>

A. There are 54 clients who own dogs.

TRUE. Of the 70 clients, only 36 own cats. There are left 34 clients that own only dogs. If we add the 20 clients that own both cats and dogs, we have 34+20=54 clients who own dogs.

B. There are 34 clients who own dogs but not cats.

TRUE. Of the 70 clients, only 36 own cats. Then, there are left 70-36=34 clients that own only dogs.

C. There are 16 clients who own cats but not dogs.

TRUE. Out of the 36 clients that own cats (only of with dogs), there are 20 that own both. Therefore, there are 36-20=16 clients that own only cats.
