Answer:

  35°

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between trig functions and sides of a right triangle. The pole and its shadow form the legs of the right triangle with the side adjacent to the angle of elevation being the shadow. "TOA" tells you ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(elevation angle) = (pole height)/(shadow length)

  tan(elevation angle) = 35/50 = 0.7

The inverse tangent function, arctan( ) or tan⁻¹( ), is used to find the angle from the value of its tangent.

  elevation angle = arctan(0.7) ≈ 34.99° ≈ 35°

Bonus question ! <br> If you answer something dumb I'll report you .
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Hello,
We know that
1/Angle 1= Angle 6= Angle 9= Angle 14=Angle 3= Angle 8= Angle 11= Angle 16

2/Angle 2= Angle 5= Angle 10= Angle 13= Angle 4=Angle 7=Angle 12= Angle 15

Check:
Option A:
Angle 2= Angle 7
Parallel
Option B:
Angle 3= Angle 11
Parallel

Option C:
Angle 1= Angle 12
None

Option D:
Angle 13= Angle 12
Parallel

Option E:
Angle 6 angle 7 are supplementary; supplementary means that both angles add up together to get 180°. To help you understand clearly, you see that when the two angle on the same line like angle 5 and 6, angle 1 and 5. However, for this one it will be False because both angle are obtuse which more than 90°. Hope it help!

What is the area of the shaded region of the figure
Alborosie
So we're looking at two rectangles, one cut out of the other, so all you do is find the area of the big one, base times height equals area, minus the area of the small one, base times height equals area. So the equation you have to solve for is this,

Area=(12.6X14)-(3X8.4)
