Answer:

Length of shadow = 49.07 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

Height of building, AB = 25 feet

Length of shadow be BC.

Angle of the shadow opposite to the building = 27°

Using trigonometric function tan function

tan( 27 ) = \frac{AB}{BC}

or BC = \frac{AB}{tan(27)}

or BC =  49.07 feet

So, length of shadow , BC = 49.07 feet

Answer:

  ∠K = ∠M = 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

The two marked angles are opposite the sides marked as congruent. That means the angles are congruent, so we have ...

  4x -1 = 2x +27

  2x = 28 . . . . . . . . add 1-2x to both sides

  x = 14

  4x -1 = 4(14) -1 = 55

The measures of the angles are ...

  ∠K = ∠M = 55°
