Answer:

  • 23°

Explanation:

<u>1) Data:</u>

a) height of the person = opposite-leg to the angle the sun makes with the ground = 5 ft

b) length of the shadow = adjacent-leg to the angle the sun makes with the ground = 12 ft

c) angle, α = ?

<u>2) Solution</u>

  • tanα = opposite-leg / adjacent-leg

  • tanα = 5 ft / 12 5t = 5/12

  • α = arctan(5/12) = 22.6°

  • 22.6° rounded to the nearest degree is 23° ← answer

<span>It is possible to have an obtuse triangle that also contains a 35° angle.
Yes, this is true.
That's because an obtuse angle just means it's more than 90 but less than 180 degrees. 

</span><span>It is possible to have a right triangle that also contains a 110° angle.
</span>No, this is false.
That's because a right triangle already has 90. That means that the two remaining angles must add up to 90 and not more or less. 

<span>It is possible to have an acute triangle that also contains a 70° angle. 
Yes, this is true.
An acute triangle means that all of the angles are more than 0 but less than 90.

Hope this helps :)</span>

Carla is age 32. how many quarters of coverage does she need to be fully insured
never [62]
According to my research, And I would take this with a grain of salt since I am not a insurance rep . You can earn up to four quarters of coverage each year. In order to be fully insured for Social Security Disability purposes, you must have earned at least one quarter of coverage per year for each year since you turned 21 years old. A minimum of six quarters of coverage is needed to be fully insured at any age so maybe Six quarters, at least according to SSD .
Hope I helped or shed some light !.
