A vertical pole, of height b, casts a shadow onto the ground. The angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow on the ground to

the top of the pole is θ=30∘, and the distance between the top of the pole and the tip of the shadow is 95 feet. Use the dimensions given to find the height b, in feet, of the pole. Do not include the units in your answer. Type your answer as a decimal.

Answer: b=47.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a Rigth triangle as the one attached, where "b" is the height in feet of the pole.

IFor this exercise you need to use the following Trigonometric Identity:

sin\theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

In this case, you can identify that:

\theta=30\°\\\\opposite=b\\\\hypotenuse=95

Then, knowing these values, you can substitute them into sin\theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}, as below:

sin(30\°)=\frac{b}{95}

Finally, you must solve for "b" in order to find its value. You get that this is:

95*sin(30\°)=b\\\\b=47.5

A pyramid has a square base with sides 100 feet long. The original height was 75 feet.
viva [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Find the volume of the original pyramid</u>

<u />V = a^2*\frac{h}{3}

V=(100)^2*\frac{75}{3}

V=10000*25

V=250000

<u>Step 2:  Find the volume of the cut off</u>

<u />V=(20)^2*\frac{15}{3}

V = 400*5

V=2000

<u>Step 3:  Find the percent that still remains</u>

<u />250000-2000

248000

248000 / 250000

0.992*100

99.2

Answer:  99.2%

Simplify the expression using trigonometric identities:
Anastaziya [24]

The simplified expression is the one in option B.

<h3>How to simplify the expression?</h3>

Remember that:

sec(x) = 1/cos(x)\\\\cos(x) = cos(-x)

With these two, we can rewrite the numerator as:

sec(x)*sin(-x) + tan(-x)\\\\\frac{1}{cos(x)}*sin(-x) + tan(x)\\\\\frac{1}{cos(-x)}*sin(-x) + tan(-x)\\\\2*tan(-x)

Replacing that in the given expression, we have:

\frac{2*tan(-x)}{1 + sec(-x)} = \frac{2*tan(-x)}{1 + 1/cos(-x)}

Now, if we multiply and divide by cos(-x), we get:

\frac{2*tan(-x)}{1 + 1/cos(-x)} =  \frac{2*tan(-x)}{1 + 1/cos(-x)}*\frac{cos(-x)}{cos(-x)} \\\\= \frac{2*sin(-x)}{1 + cos(-x)}

Now remember that:

cos(x) = cos(-x)\\sin(-x) = -sin(x)

With these two properties:

\frac{2*sin(-x)}{1 + cos(-x)} = \frac{-2*sin(x)}{1 + cos(x)}

Then the correct option is B.
