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

Answer:

∠A = 45°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in a triangle = 180°.

That means in the triangle ABC, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°.

Given ∠B = 90° and ∠C = 45°.

⇒ ∠A + 90° + 45° = 180°

⇒ ∠A = 180 - 90 - 45

⇒ ∠A = 45° is the required answer.

A falling object accerlates from -10.0m/s to -30.0m/s how much time does that take
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

2.04 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Falling objects near the surface of the earth have an acceleration of -9.81 m/s².

Acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time:

a = (v − v₀) / t

-9.81 = (-30.0 − (-10.0)) / t

-9.81 = -20.0 / t

t = 2.04

It takes 2.04 seconds.
