Answer:

Option C) 45°  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Height of building = 190 feet

Length of shadow = 190 feet

Let \theta be the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the top of the building.

Relation:

\tan \theta = \dfrac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}\\\\\Rightarrow \tan \theta = \dfrac{\text{Height of building}}{\text{Length of shadow}}\\\\\Rightarrow \tan \theta = \dfrac{19}{19}=1\\\\\Rightarrow \theta = \tan^{-1}(1)\\\Rightarrow \theta = 45^\circ

Thus, the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the top of the building is

Option C) 45°

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

28 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

let the time period at which the temperature be equal in both Brownsville and Mesquite Texas be 'x'.

Given,

In Brownsville Texas, the temperature is expected to drop 1.5° each hour and In Mesquite Texas, the temperature is expected to drop 2° each hour.

Now, according to the question,

after 'x' hours,

⇒ 80° - 1.5°(x) = 94° - 2°(x)

⇒ 0.5°(x) = 14°

⇒ x = 28

Hence, Till 28 more hours the temperature in Mesquite Texas be greater than that in Brownsville.
