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

Describe one way that concepts about similarity could be used in real life
kherson [118]
1<span>. Personality in Twins. This is an example of similarity. Suppose a mother gave birth twins a few years ago, so they grow up together and given that they have the same DNA they are similar but not equal. </span>They have similar eyes, noses, lips, ears etc, but their mother can recognize them because even though they are similar they are not the same person. So maybe you want to be a friend of one of them, then you will choose the one you feel more comfortable to talk with. 

<span>2. Cars. Suppose you like a specific type of brand car. Then there are many cars of this brand. You want to buy one of that car, so you decide to go to a concessionaire. One concessionaire has that car and its cost is $2000. Another one has the same car, it is a similar one, same color, same year, but at a price of $1900, so obviously you choose the less expensive.</span>

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

C. (5, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ordered pair just means the coordinate or the point at which both of the graphs intersect. On the x-axis, this is at point 5, and on the y-axis, this is at point -3. Since an ordered pair is in the form (x, y), the answer is therefore C.
