Height of sculpture/shadow of sculpture = height of tower/shadow of tower

x/12 = 12/16
16x = 12*12
16x = 144
x = 144/16
x = 9

The sculpture is 9 meters tall

The point (-3/5,y) in the third quadrant corresponds to angle θ on the unit circle.
romanna [79]
Sec(theta) = 1 / cos (theta) = hypotenuse / x -coordinate

hypotenuse = 1 (because it is the radius of the unit circle)

sec (theta) = 1 / (-3/5) = - 5/3

cot (theta) = 1 / tan(theta) = x-coordinate / y - coordinate

cot (theta) = -3/5 / y

y^2 + (-3/5)^2 = 1 => y^2 = 1 - 9/25 = 16/25 = y = +/- 4/5

Third quadrant => y = -4/5

=> cot (theta) = (-3/5) / (-4/5) = 3/4

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

D) L=50 W=50

Step-by-step explanation:

Just "plug and chug" these numbers and see which doesn't work.

A is not it, 20+30=50 (then *2 because we need 4 sides not just 2) 50*2=100

B isn't it, 10+40=50*2=100

C ain't it either 49+1=50*2=100

D is the answer 50+50=100*2=200
