Answer:
The minimum distance x that a plant needing full sun can be placed from a fence that is 5 feet high is 4.435 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have the lowest angle of elevation of the sun given as 27.5° and the height of the fence is 5 feet.
We will then find the position to place the plant where the suns rays can get to the base of the plant
Note that the fence is in between the sun and the plant, therefore we have
Height of fence = 5 ft.
Angle of location x from the fence = lowest angle of elevation of the sun, θ
This forms a right angled triangle with the fence as the height and the location of the plant as the base
Therefore, the length of the base is given as
Height × cos θ
= 5 ft × cos 27.5° = 4.435 ft
The plant should be placed at a location x = 4.435 ft from the fence.

Answer:
y = 7/3x +13/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the given line is in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), so we can see the slope (m) is -3/7. The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of this, so is ...
m = -1/(-3/7) = 7/3
The y-intercept of the perpendicular line can be found from ...
b = y -mx
b = -5 -(7/3)(-4) = -15/3 +28/3 = 13/3
Then the slope-intercept equation of the perpendicular line is ...
y = mx +b
y = 7/3x +13/3
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
You can get there a little faster using the point-slope form of the equation of a line. For slope m and point (h, k) that form is ...
y -k = m(x -h)
For our perpendicular line, the equation is ...
y +5 = 7/3(x +4)
Answer:
B) 108
Step-by-step explanation:
180-72=108
34+x+90 =180(Angle sum property of triangle )
124 +x =180
x= 180-124
x= 56
