A vertical pole(AB) 6 feet long casts a shadow(CB) 55 inches long as shown in the attached image. Since the angle of elevation of sun is \angle C. We hav to find the value of \angle C.

Firstly, we will change the dimensions of pole(in feet) to the dimension of shadow( in inches) . So, that the dimensions of pole and shadow are same.

Since, 1 feet = 12 inches.

6 feet = 6 \times 12 = 72 inches.

Now, let us consider the triangle ABC in the attached image,

We have to find \angle C

tan\Theta =\frac{Perpendicular}{base}

\tan C= \frac{AB}{BC}= \frac{72}{55}

= 1.309

= 52.6^{\circ} = 53^{\circ}

Length of the pole is = 6 feet=6*12=72 inches

Length of shadow of the pole = 55 inches

Here we use tangent function which relates height and shadow . Let the angle of elevation be x .

tan x = \frac{height}{shadow}

tan x = \frac{72}{55}

x= 52.6 degree= approx 53 degree

So the correct option is C.

hey someone else has already answered this!

a. To find the least squares regression equation for a group of (x,y) points:

Step 1: For each point(x,y), we need to calculate x² and xy first.

Step 2: Sum all x, y, x² and xy, which gives us Σx, Σy, Σx² and Σxy

Step 3: Calculate Slope m: m = (NΣxy − Σx Σy)/ N(Σx²) − (Σx)² , here N is the number of data.

Step 4: Calculate Intercept b: b = Σy − m(Σx)/ N

Step 5: Assemble the equation as y= mx+b

Here, we have ∑x = 120, ∑y= 1379, ∑x²= 919.5, ∑xy= 10466 and N= 16

So, m= (NΣxy − Σx Σy)/ N(Σx²) − (Σx)²

=

=

=  

= 6.33

and b = Σy − m(Σx)/ N

=

=

=

= 38.71

So, the least squares regression equation is : y= mx+b ⇒ y= 6.33x +38.71

b. When x= 8, then y= (6.33×8)+38.71 = 50.64 + 38.71 =89.35

The approximate test score of a student who sleeps an average of 8 h a night is 89.35%

Identify the angles of rotational symmetry for the figure.
miss Akunina [59]
I saw 180, 90, 45. That’s only because 360/8=45 so it’s symmetrical when rotated by a multiple of 45. Hope that helps
