<span>The angle of reflection is C). the angle that the reflected ray makes with a line drawn perpendicular to the reflecting surface, that way the reflection can be seen.

Explanation :

The process in which the object after striking on a reflecting surface bounces back is called reflection. This process is shown by the light and the sound waves etc.

There are two laws of reflection :

The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
The normal, incident ray and the reflected ray and the point of incidence all lie in the same plane.

From the attached figure, it is clear that the angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal to the reflecting surface. It is denoted by $\angle r$ .

Hence, the correct option is (C) " the angle that the reflected ray makes with a line drawn perpendicular to the reflecting surface ".

Three sticks are arranged to form a right triangle. If the lengths of the three sticks are 0.47 m, 0.62 m and 0.78 m, what are t

Svetradugi [14.3K]

The angles in the triangle are 91 degrees, 53 degrees and 36 degrees respectively.

<h3>What is the cosine rule?</h3>

From the cosine rule we know that;

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2abcosC

Since;

a = 0.47 m

b = 0.62 m

c = 0.78 m

Then;

(0.78)^2 = (0.47)^2 + (0.62)^2 - 2(0.47 * 0.62)cosC

0.61 = 0.22 + 0.38 - 0.58 cosC

0.61 - ( 0.22 + 0.38) = - 0.58 cosC

0.01 = - 0.58 cosC

C = cos-1(0.01/-0.58)

C = 91 degrees

Using the sine rule;

b/Sin B = c/Sin C

0.62/sinB = 0.78/sin 91

0.62/Sin B = 0.78

B = sin-1 (0.62//0.78)

B = 53 degrees

Angle A is obtained from the sum of angles in a triangle;

180 - (91 + 53)

A = 36 degrees
