This can be solve using trigonometric function. since the given side is the adjecent of the angle which is length of the shadow and the unknown is the side opposite the angle, which is the height of chad.

Tan (a) = opposite / adjacent

Opposite = tan(23) * 14.3 ft

Opposite = 6.1 ft is the hieght of Chad

Answer:

6.1

please give me brainliest!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine right triangle with first leg to be the Chad length and second leg to be the Chad's shadow. Second leg has length 14.3 ft and since the straight-line distance from the top of Chad’s head to the end of the shadow creates a 23° angle with the ground, you could consider the trigonmetric function

tan23 = chad's length/chads shadow length

tan23 = chad's length/14.3

chad's length = 14.3 * tan23 = 6.1

A shipping container will be used to transport several 140-kilogram crates across the
velikii [3]

Answer:

91.42 crates

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Greatest Number of 140kg crates = x

weight of crate = 140-kilogram

Weight of other shipment = 13200 kilograms

greatest weight of container = 26000 kilograms

Weight of other shipment + (weight of crate * number of crates) ≤ greatest weight of container

13,200 + 140x ≤ 26,000

140x ≤ 26,000 - 13,200

140x ≤ 12,800

x ≤ 12,800/140

x ≤ 91.42 kilograms

Greatest Number of 140kg crates = 91.42 crates
