We need to find thr rate of change (slope) of the line joining these two points ~
Slope of the line (m) joining the two points is 2 ~
Answer:
∅ = 67.71°
Step-by-step explanation:
The flag pole is 20 ft tall is casting a shadow that is 8.2 ft long .At what angle is the sun hitting the ground. The illustration forms a right angle triangle.
The right angle triangle has an hypotenuse, opposite and adjacent sides. The flag height forms the opposite side. The shadow forms the adjacent side . The angle the sun is hitting the ground can be using SOHCAHTOA principle.
using Tan
tan ∅ = opposite / adjacent
tan ∅ = 20/8.2
tan ∅ = 2.4390243902
∅ = tan⁻¹ 2.4390243902
∅ = 67.7063708403
∅ = 67.71°
54.59 - 26.61 is 27.98. Hope it helps! :) If you could vote my answer as the brainliest, that would be awesome! :)
The answer is 1/2 or 8/16 if it asks not to simplify
