Answer:
x=9.768
y=6.972
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem we have to use the trig relationships of cos and sin to figure out the lengths. Cos is equal to adjacent/hypotenuse so we can set it as x/r=.814 and since r is equal to 12 we can do 12 times .814 to get x.
We do a similar process for sin but sin is equal to opposite/hypotenuse so we can set up the equation y/r=.581 and we simply multiply both sides by 12 to get 12*.581 to get y.
Also for future reference adjacent and hypotenuse are based on the angle at use, since ∅ is on the bottom left x is the adjacent side and y is the opposite side.
I hope this helps
Answer:
32.75
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide 131 by 4 (131/4), then you should get the answer 32.75, so if you need to round it, round it to 31, and if you do not need to round it, then it will be 32.75
Most of the information's required for solving the question is already given in the question.
Height of the building that casts a shadow of 20 m = 32 m
Then
Height of the man that casts a shadow of 1.2 m = (32/20) * 1.2 meter
= 3.2 * 1.2 meter
= 3.84 meter
So the actual height of the person casting a shadow of 1.2 meter is 3.84 meters. I hope that the procedure used for solving the problem is easy enough for you to understand. You can definitely use this method in future for solving problems of similar type without requiring any additional help from outside.
