3 0

To answer this problem, you should know the formula that we will be using and this would be:
Angle of elevation = arc tan( (vertical height)/(length of the shadow)).

Plugging in the values in the formula. Here, this angle is:

arc tan (12.5/18) = 34.78 degrees

The answer would be approximately 34.78 degrees

What is the formula for an eastbound car is going 4 miles per hour faster than a westbound car. the cars are 208 miles apart 2 h

ivanzaharov [21]

Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown below.

Let v = speed of the westbound car, mph

Because the eastbound car travels 4 mph faster than the westbound car, its speed is (v+4) mph.

After 2 hours,
the westbound car travels 2v miles west, and the eastbound car travels 2(v+4) miles east.
Because they become separated by 208 miles, therefore
2v + 2(v+4) = 208
4v + 8 = 208
4v = 200
v = 50 mph

The westbound car travels at 50 mph.
The eastbound car travels at v+4 = 54 mph

Answer: The eastbound car travels at 54 mph.

The circumference of a circle with radius $r$ is $2\pi r$ . If the length of the radius is tripled, then the circumference becomes $2\pi(3r)=3\cdot2\pi r$ , which is just 3 times the original circle's circumference.
