A 96 ft tree casts a shadow that is 120 ft long. What is the angle to the nearest hundredth the sun makes with the ground?
1 answer:
Answer:
The angle to the nearest hundredths is 38. 66 °
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question above the events will form a right angle triangle. From the triangle above the opposite side is the height of the tree. The adjacent side is the length of the shadow. The x value is the angle formed.
From the triangle,
height of tree (opposite) = 96 ft
length of shadow(adjacent) = 120 ft
angle formed = x
Using the SOHCAHTOA principle,
tan x = opposite/adjacent
tan x = 96/120
tan x = 0.8
x = arctan(0.8)
x = 38.659808254
6, immediately after the decimal → tenth value
5 → hundredth value
9 → thousandth value
The thousandth value(9) is greater than 5 so we give 1 to the hundredth value(5) to make it 6.
To the nearest hundredth ,
x = 38. 66 °

Answer:
Degree:3
Y-intercept:-6
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is:
To find the degree, we multiply out the leading terms of each factor.
The leading term of the first factor is:
and that of the second factor is
and the third one is:
If we multiply out the leading terms, we would get:
Therefore the degree of the function is:
3
To find the y-intercept, we put x=0 to get:

Lixin is the fastest typist
Step-by-step explanation:
Amirah = 45
Lixin = <u>46 </u>
Shirley = 42
We divide the words by minutes which is basically Unit rate
So we take each person and divide by their words and minutes
ALWAYS when ur finding unit rate divide the buggest number by the smallest!
