The angle of elevation from the end of the shadow to the top of the man's head will be 34.077°.
<h3>What is a right-angle triangle?</h3>
It's a form of a triangle with one 90-degree angle that follows Pythagoras' theorem and can be solved using the trigonometry function. The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.
A man who is 5feet 9inches tall casts a shadow of 8feet 6inches.
Assuming that the man is perpendicular to the ground.
5 ft 9 in = 69 in
8 ft 6 in = 102 in
Then the angle of elevation from the end of the shadow to the top of the man's head will be
tan θ = 69/102
θ = tan ⁻¹ (0.676)
θ = 34.077°.

For the first one the answer is B
Answer:
no false.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Simplifying
5x2 + -7x + -3 = 8
Reorder the terms:
-3 + -7x + 5x2 = 8
Solving
-3 + -7x + 5x2 = 8
Solving for variable 'x'.
Reorder the terms:
-3 + -8 + -7x + 5x2 = 8 + -8
Combine like terms: -3 + -8 = -11
-11 + -7x + 5x2 = 8 + -8
Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
-11 + -7x + 5x2 = 0
Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by
5 the coefficient of the squared term:
Divide each side by '5'.
-2.2 + -1.4x + x2 = 0
Move the constant term to the right:
Add '2.2' to each side of the equation.
-2.2 + -1.4x + 2.2 + x2 = 0 + 2.2
Reorder the terms:
-2.2 + 2.2 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
Combine like terms: -2.2 + 2.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
-1.4x + x2 = 0 + 2.2
Combine like terms: 0 + 2.2 = 2.2
-1.4x + x2 = 2.2
The x term is -1.4x. Take half its coefficient (-0.7).
Square it (0.49) and add it to both sides.
Add '0.49' to each side of the equation.
-1.4x + 0.49 + x2 = 2.2 + 0.49
Reorder the terms:
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 2.2 + 0.49
Combine like terms: 2.2 + 0.49 = 2.69
0.49 + -1.4x + x2 = 2.69
Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.7)(x + -0.7) = 2.69
Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.640121947
Break this problem into two subproblems by setting
(x + -0.7) equal to 1.640121947 and -1.640121947.
Subproblem 1
x + -0.7 = 1.640121947
Simplifying
x + -0.7 = 1.640121947
Reorder the terms:
-0.7 + x = 1.640121947
Solving
-0.7 + x = 1.640121947
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '0.7' to each side of the equation.
-0.7 + 0.7 + x = 1.640121947 + 0.7
Combine like terms: -0.7 + 0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + x = 1.640121947 + 0.7
x = 1.640121947 + 0.7
Combine like terms: 1.640121947 + 0.7 = 2.340121947
x = 2.340121947
Simplifying
x = 2.340121947
Subproblem 2
x + -0.7 = -1.640121947
Simplifying
x + -0.7 = -1.640121947
Reorder the terms:
-0.7 + x = -1.640121947
Solving
-0.7 + x = -1.640121947
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '0.7' to each side of the equation.
-0.7 + 0.7 + x = -1.640121947 + 0.7
Combine like terms: -0.7 + 0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + x = -1.640121947 + 0.7
x = -1.640121947 + 0.7
Combine like terms: -1.640121947 + 0.7 = -0.940121947
x = -0.940121947
Simplifying
x = -0.940121947
Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
x = {2.340121947, -0.940121947}
