The 2 angles add up to 90 degrees so

x + y = 90, also:-

x - y = 72 (given)

adding the 2 equations:-

2x = 162

x = 81

and therefore

y + 81 = 90

y = 9

Answer the 2 angles are 81 and 9 degrees

You need to use a ratio of height (H) to shadow length (L) to solve the first problem. It's basically a use of similar triangles, with two perpendicular sides, and with the shadow making the same angle with the vertical.

6 ft = 72 ins, so that rH/L = 72/16 = 9/2 for the player.

So the bleachers are 9/2 x 6 ft = 27 ft.

For the second problem, 9 ft = 108 in, so that the ratio of the actual linear dimensions to the plan's linear dimensions are 9ft/(1/2in) = 2 x 108 = 216.

So the stage will have dimensions 216 times larger than 1.75" by 3".

That would be 31ft 6ins x 54ft.

Live long and prosper.
