Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A tree that is 100 feet tall casts a shadow that is 150 feet long ...
The angle at which the ray of the sun hit the ground is that which has a tangent equal to 100 / 150 or 2/3. This angle is equal to 33.69. Thus, the answer is letter B. 34°
The answer is 73.33333333 (repeated). You can also write it as 73 or 73.3 with a line over the 3 (after the decimal point) to indicate it being repeated.
<u><em>The additive identity property </em></u>. . . is being used here because no matter what the value is, whenever you add zero (0) to it, you'll always get the value your started with.
Answer: The ratio is 2.39, which means that the larger acute angle is 2.39 times the smaller acute angle.
Step-by-step explanation:
I suppose that the "legs" of a triangle rectangle are the cathati.
if L is the length of the shorter leg, 2*L is the length of the longest leg.
Now you can remember the relation:
Tan(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)
Then there is one acute angle calculated as:
Tan(θ) = (shorter leg)/(longer leg)
Tan(φ) = (longer leg)/(shorter leg)
And we want to find the ratio between the measure of the larger acute angle and the smaller acute angle.
Then we need to find θ and φ.
Tan(θ) = L/(2*L)
Tan(θ) = 1/2
θ = Atan(1/2) = 26.57°
Tan(φ) = (2*L)/L
Tan(φ) = 2
φ = Atan(2) = 63.43°
Then the ratio between the larger acute angle and the smaller acute angle is:
R = (63.43°)/(26.57°) = 2.39
This means that the larger acute angle is 2.39 times the smaller acute angle.
