Answer:

to the nearest degree = 77°

Explanation:

This is a question under trigonometry

from the question we can find that The building is 210 feet tall and the length of its shadow is 50 feet.

The relationship between opposite and adjacent of the triangle is tan

Therefore tanθ = \frac{50}{210}

θ = tan⁻¹ 0.2380

= 13.39°

then we have to calculate the measure of the angle between the end of the shadow and the vertical side of the building​ , which is equal to

90 - 13.39=

=76.61°

to the nearest degree = 77°

Do you think its good to have physical and political elements on a separate maps
Luden [163]
<span>If you want to have just one map wherein all the information you require about a certain place and its political make-up it would be an advantage to just have it all in one map since all the information you needs is all there.  This comes handy when you want to travel light.  However, if you want to be more specific in what you need to find then it’s best to place the physical and political elements of the maps or makes separate maps for each element.  It makes it easier to read especially when you are looking for a specific element.</span>

Why do graff and anderson questions ender seven days after his first battle?
pashok25 [27]

Graff and Anderson meet with Ender seven days before the battle because they want to decide if he is really ready to accelerate the attack and participate in a real confrontation. Both play opposite roles so that Ender can understand two different points of view, on the one hand the need to lead everyone and make unquestionable decisions and on the other the not to stop listening to their team and stay in tune with them.
