Answer:
The minimum distance x that a plant needing full sun can be placed from a fence that is 5 feet high is 4.435 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have the lowest angle of elevation of the sun given as 27.5° and the height of the fence is 5 feet.
We will then find the position to place the plant where the suns rays can get to the base of the plant
Note that the fence is in between the sun and the plant, therefore we have
Height of fence = 5 ft.
Angle of location x from the fence = lowest angle of elevation of the sun, θ
This forms a right angled triangle with the fence as the height and the location of the plant as the base
Therefore, the length of the base is given as
Height × cos θ
= 5 ft × cos 27.5° = 4.435 ft
The plant should be placed at a location x = 4.435 ft from the fence.
63 5 tens=50
13 ones=10 and 3 leftover 50+13=63
Answer: There were 10 students in the class on the first day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of students of the first day.
Given: A college writing seminar increased its size by 50 percent from the first to the second day.
i.e. Number of students on second day = (Number of students on first day)+(50% of Number of students on first day)
= x +50% of x
= x+0.50x
= (1.50)x
=1.50x
Since, it is given that the total number of students in the seminar on the second day was 15.
i.e. 
Hence, there were 10 students in the class on the first day.
159.98 divided by 6 is 26.66, hopefully this is correct...
