You are visiting a Redwood tree forest and want to verify the height of one of the trees. You measure its shadow along the groun

d and use trig to calculate the height. The shadow measures 500 feet and you calculate the angle of elevation to be 35 degrees. This forms a right triangle. (a) What is the measure of the other acute angle?(b) What is the height of the tree?

Answer:

(a)55^o

(b)350.1ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles inside a triangle must be 180°, but from the right angle we already have 90°, so the sum of the two acute angles is 90°, then:

90^o-35^o=55^o

Let s be the length of the shadow and h the height of the three, so tan(35) is

tan(35^o)=\frac{h}{s}

Solving that last equation for h:

h=s*tan(35)=500(0.7002)=350.1ft

Volume is a three-dimensional scalar quantity. The cost of the glass is $1312.24.

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

A volume is a scalar number that expresses the amount of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface.

Given the colony must be able to take a volume of 200,000 cubic meters, therefore, the diameter of the hemisphere will be,

The volume of Hemisphere = (2/3)πr³

200,000 = (2/3) × π × R³

R = 45.7

The area of the base of the hemisphere is,

Area of the base = πR² = π×(45.7)  = 6561.185 meters²

Given the cost of glass is $0.20 per square meter, therefore, the cost of the glass of the base will be,

Cost of glass = 6561.185 × 0.20 = $1312.24

Hence, the cost of the glass is $1312.24.
