Answer:

h = 3*tan(62) where h is the height

Step-by-step explanation:

You basically have a right triangle.  the standing man is the vertical line, the shadow is the horizontal line and the 62 degrees is the angle betweenthe horizontal line and the hypotenuse.

So, relative to the angle we have the adjacent angle and opposite.  What uses those?  Tangent.  tan(x) = opp / adj

tan(62) = h/3

h = 3*tan(62) where h is the height

Why does cos(90°) = 0?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal leg is 0, since there is no horizontal component of the triangle, so, the cosine is 0. Consider the angle itself and the unit circle. There is no horizontal component of the angle: The horizontal component of the angle is 0, so, the cosine of 90° is 0.

An example of a direct variation scenario is the increase in the income of a start-up bakeshop when the number of cakes sold increase. Example data are (4, $ 100), (5, $ 125), (6, $ 150), and (7, $ 175). 

The example of indirect variation scenario is the decrease in time it takes to reach a destination when the speed of the mobile increases. This is shown in the data points: (10 kph, 10 mins), (12 kph, 8 mins), (14 kph, 6 mins), and (16 kph, 4 mins).

Enter number as an integer or decimal.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

x

Step-by-step explanation:

30-4x>6x-10

Adding 10 to both sides.

10+30-4x>6x-10+10

40-4x>6x

Adding 4x to both sides.

4x+40-4x>6x+4x

40>10x

Dividing both sides by 10.

\frac{40}{10}>\frac{10x}{10}

4>x

∴ x
