Hey there mate!
Please check the attached answer of picture for explanation.
<span>We need to calculate noon sun angle. Noon sun angle is an angle at which sun-rays fall at noon on a given date.
</span>On September 22, the sun’s rays form a 90° angle at noon at the equator.
Formula for calculating noon sun angle is:
Noon_sun_angle = 90° - Zenith angle
We have complementary angles so we need to substract zenith angle from 90°.
The zenith angle is the distance between subsolar point (point where sun is at 90°) and the latitude of an observer. In our case this angle will have same value as latitude because subsolar point is at equator 0°. If our latitude and subsolar point are at same hemisphere we substract values. Otherwise we add values.
New Orleans, USA
Latitude = 30°
Noon_sun_angle = 90° - 30° = 60°
Helsinki, Finland
Latitude = 60°
Noon_sun_angle = 90° - 60° = 30°
Add 4/5 and 1/5 to make 5/5 or 1 mile the subtract 1 from 2 1/2 to equal 1 1/2 miles
Answer:
for just the slope its 3/5 or in decimal its .6
Step-by-step explanation:
y's on top x's on bottom
1--2
1+2=3
2--3
2+3=5
so slope is 3/5 or .6
