Answer:

Height of the building = 132 m

Ratio of the height of the building to its shadow is, 3 : 5 or \frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion states that the two ratios or fractions are equal.

As per the statement:

Given: Height of a pole = 6 m , Shadow of a pole = 10 m

and Shadow of a building = 220 m .

Let h be the height of the building.

then, by definition of Proportion;

\frac{6}{10} =\frac{h}{220}

by cross multiply we have;

6 \times 220 = 10h

Divide both sides by 10 we get;

h = \frac{6 \times 220}{10} = 132 m

Height of the building is, 132 m.

Now to find the ratio of the height of the building to its shadow.

Height of the building to its shadow is written as;

\frac{Height of the building}{Shadow of the building}

Substitute the given values we have;

\frac{132}{220}

Divide both numerator and denominator by 44 we get;

\frac{3}{5} = 3 : 5

Therefore, the ratio of the height of the building to its shadow is, 3 : 5

Label the vertices of the quadrilateral A, B, C, D. Angle C is supplementary to the angle of measure 60 degrees, so its own measure is 120 degrees.

AD and BC are parallel, as are AB and CD, so ABCD is a parallelogram. This means angle A also has measure 120 degrees. The angle adjacent to the one with measure 3x, part of angle A, then has measure 120^\circ-3x.

The three angles above the line through vertex A are supplementary, so we have

2x+90^\circ+(120^\circ-3x)=180^\circ

\implies210^\circ-x=180^\circ

\implies x=30^\circ

If sin(x) = cos(y) for acute angles x and y, how are the angles related?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

b. complementary

Step-by-step explanation:

-Complementary angles are angles that add up to 90°.

-These are usually the two acute angles in the right triangle.

#To verify, lets take the two angles 30° and 60°:

Cos \ 60\textdegree=0.5\\\\Sin \ 30\textdegree=0.5\\\\\therefore Sin \ 30\textdegree=Cos \ 60 \textdegree=0.5

#We can reverse as:

Sin \ 60\textdegree=0.86603\\\\Cos \ 30\textdegree=0.86603\\\\\therefore Sin \ 60\textdegree=Cos \ 30\textdegree=0.86603

Hence, two angles are said to be complimentary if they sum up to 90°.

Answer:

1 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

On the number line, for every whole integer, the line is divided into fifths. The dot is one fifth away from the number two. Therefore, it is 4/5 in from 1 and the answer is 1 \frac{4}{5}.
