Answer:

48.19°

Step-by-step explanation:

Check the attachment for the diagram.

The set up is a right angled triangle

Using the SOH, CAH, TOA trigonometry ratio to get the angle of depression theta.

The length of the ladder will be the hypotenuse of the triangle.

If he places the ladder 10 feet from the base of the tree, the adjacent of the triangle will be the base of the triangle.

Given Hypotenuse = 15feet

Adjacently = 10feet

According to CAH;

cos(theta) = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

cos(theta) = 10/15

cos(theta) = 2/3

theta = arccos(2/3)

theta = 48.19°

Shawn cat is looking at him at an angle of depression of 48.19°

PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!!! Base the question off this info: An experienced cashier at a grocery store takes 2 second
Vesna [10]
You need to use basic algebra for this.
For this I’ll use o as the items and p for the payment. First you need to find out how long it took for all the items to scan, so if it took each item 2 seconds to be scanned you need to times the total number of items (o) by two e.g. o x 2 = 62 items times two seconds which is equivalent to 62 seconds (1.02 minutes) after this step you need to minus the total time it took to scan the items for the transaction time (2 minutes) e.g. 2.00 - 1.02 = 2.58 minutes.

Hope this helped :)

Jess will plant up to 27 acres on her farm with wheat and corn. More than 5 acres will be planted with wheat.
Lena [83]
The first thing we do in these cases is to define the variables.
 We have then:
 w = represent the number of acres of wheat
 c = represent the number of acres of corn
 We write now the inequalities based is:
 "Jess will plant up to 27 acres on her farm with wheat and corn"
 w + c <= 27
 "More than 5 acres will be planted with wheat"
 w> 5
 Answer:
 
two inequalities that represent this situation are:
 
w + c <= 27
 
w> 5
