Answer:

33.7 degrees or 34 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a 4-foot tall person standing with her back to the sun casts an 6-foot long shadow.

The person is standing vertically and the shadow is cast on the horizontal ground.  Hence the person, the ground and the line connecting Sun, person head and end of shadow forms a right triangle.

In the right triangle two legs are height and length of shadow

Hence equal to 4 and 6

Angle the sun makes with the ground will have

tan = 4/6

Hence angle = tan inverse of 4/6

Answer:  \alpha=34\°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Based on the information given in the problem, you can draw the right triangle shown in the figure attached.

2. Keeping the informationn given in the problem, you can calculate the angle that the sum makes with the ground (\alpha)as you can see below:

arctan\alpha=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Where:

opposite=4\\adjacent=6

3. Then:

 arctan\alpha=\frac{4}{6}

\alpha=34\°

Which number is greater 20% or 0.02
mylen [45]
To compare these two values, we need them to be in the same form.  

To convert 20% into a decimal, we divide 20/100, or 0.20.  

When comparing decimals, we know that 0.2 > 0.02. 

Therefore, 20% > 0.02.  (20% is greater than 0.02)

If the graph of the linear equations in a system are parallel what does that mean about possible solutions of the system?
professor190 [17]

Since, the system of linear equations are parallel

so, they will never cross or intersect each other

And we know that

solution can only be found if both lines intersect atleast one point

But here , lines are parallel

so, they never intersect each other throughout number line

Since, they never intersect

so, we won't get any common value between both lines

Hence,

There is no solution...........Answer
