Answer:   48°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The shadow is the adjacent side and the length of the flag is the hypotenuse

cos\ \theta=\dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\\\cos\ \theta=\dfrac{10}{15}\\\\\\cos^{-1}(cos\ \theta)=cos^{-1}\bigg(\dfrac{10}{15}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \boxed{\theta=48^o}

Answer:

The ratio of Tan B is

\tan B= \dfrac{AC}{BC}=\dfrac{8}{15}

OR

\tan A= \dfrac{BC}{AC}=\dfrac{15}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

In Right Angle Triangle ABC

angle C = 90°

AB = Ramp = 17 feet

BC =Horizontal distance = 15 feet

AC = Height from floor = 8 feet

To Find:

Ratio of Tan B = ?

Solution:

In Right Angle Triangle ABC By Tangent Identity we have

\tan B= \dfrac{\textrm{side opposite to angle B}}{\textrm{side adjacent to angle B}}

Substituting the given values we get

\tan B= \dfrac{AC}{BC}=\dfrac{8}{15}

OR

\tan A= \dfrac{BC}{AC}=\dfrac{15}{8}
