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°

Now choose a social science issue listed above, or pick one of your own. Adopt the social science perspective to ask a question
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The social sciences problem chosen was: The rap* culture present in American society.

The question a psychologist may have about this question is, "What makes citizens ignore the rap* culture?"

Explanation:

Rap* culture is a term used to describe behaviors performed in indirect and subtle ways that refer to actual rap*, in addition to trying to silence victims, or to acquit those guilty of acts of sexual violence. In addition, the rap* culture allows these behaviors to be seen as normal in society and natural to the people who do them, often being shown in films, books and music as something normal, natural and harmless.

In short, the rap* culture refers to wrong behaviors related to sexual violence that are treated as something natural and normal. A psychologist can try to understand the psychic factors of the human mind that exonerate these behaviors, through scientific experiments. These experiments can start with the question: "What makes citizens ignore the rap* culture?"

PS: * means "e"
