This problem is about triangles.
We must apply the trigonmetric relations to solve this.
I can see we have a right angle triangle.
Let's use the idea of the tangent.
tan (22º) = building height / shadow length
Let's plug given data on above formula:
tan(22º) = 610 ft / shadow length
I looked up and got tan(22º) = 0.40, so:
0.40 = 610 ft / shadow length
shadow length = 610 ft / 0.40
shadow length = 1,525 ft
Answer: shadow length is 1,525 ft .
Answer:
5 feet each
Step-by-step explanation:
So we know that 4 pieces of rope out of 5 are equal. So, we simply subtract 10 from 30 for that 10-foot piece of rope, which leaves us with 20. Divide 20 by 4 (since there is 4 pieces of rope of equal value) and it leaves us with 5 feet.
Hope I helped! :)
the answer is C.12.1 units
