A * b = 48
a + b = -14....a = -14 - b

b(-14 - b) = 48
-b^2 - 14b = 48
b^2 + 14b + 48 = 0
(b + 6)(b + 8) = 0

b + 6 = 0
b = -6

b + 8 = 0
b = -8

so ur 2 numbers are : -6 and -8

Answer:

$\alpha \approx 39^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that tree grows perpendicular to surface. The statement is geometrically represented in the attachment included below, which resembles a right-angled triangle. Lastly, the angle of elevation of the sun is determined with the help of the following trigonometric relationship:

$\tan \alpha = \frac{96\,ft}{120\,ft}$
