We need an angle measure we have to use an inverse trig ratio, sin^-1, cos^-1, or tan^-1.
Setting up the right triangle we have the opposite and adjacent so we use tan.
tan angle = 28/32
tan^-1 (28/32) = 41 degrees

Height = 28m
shadow = 32

Angle = tan^-1 (28/32) = 41.18 degree

Hope it helps!

What’s the probability of getting a prime number and getting a vowel?
Ad libitum [116K]

First you need to know how many prime numbers are from 1 to 12.

Prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11. There are 5 prime numbers.

The probability of getting a prime number would be 5/12.

Vowels from A to J would be A, E, I, so 3 vowels.

The probability of picking a vowel would be 3/10.

The probability of picking both would be 5/12 x 3/10 = 15 /120, which reduces to 1/8.

The answer is B.

Lola measures three buttons for a shirt she’s making. One button is 1/8, 3/8 and 1/4 inch. The button hole is 2/6 of an inch. Wh
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

That's the only one bigger than 2/6, any smaller will fall out as it's a button. You'd twist it sort of in half to get it in the hole, therefore, 3/8 is the only button that will fit.

I'm not sure if this is correct but this is how I'd go about it :)
