Given :

A 136 foot tall cell phone tower casts a 79.9 foot shadow.

To Find :

The shadow length for a nearby 40 foot telephone pole .

Solution :

We know , the ratio of height and shadow , will be same for every object .

Let , length of shadow of pole is x .

So ,

\dfrac{79.9}{136}=\dfrac{x}{40}\\\\x=\dfrac{79.9\times 40}{136}\ foot\\\\x=23.5\ foot

Therefore , the length of shadow of tower is 23.5 foot .

Hence , this is the required solution .

The expression sin 57° is equal to
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

cos(33^{\circ})

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

sin(57^{\circ})

Required

Determine an equivalent expression

In trigonometry:

sin(\theta)= cos(90^{\circ} - \theta)

In sin(57^{\circ})

\theta=57^{\circ}

Substitute 57^{\circ} for \theta

in sin(\theta)= cos(90^{\circ} - \theta)

sin(57^{\circ})= cos(90^{\circ} - 57^{\circ})

sin(57^{\circ})= cos(33^{\circ})

Hence, the equivalent expression is: cos(33^{\circ})
