Answer:

46.05degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

Height of tree = 18ft (Opposite)

length of shadow = 25ft (hypotenuse)

Required

Angle of elevation

Sin theta = opp/hyp

Sin x = 18/25

sin x = 0.72

x = arcsin(0.72)

x = 46.05

Hence the angle of elevation of the sun is 46.05degrees

Henry knows that the circumference of a circle is 18mc006-1.jpg inches. What is the area of the circle?

The complete question is:
Henry knows that the circumference of a circle is 18π inches. What is the area of the circle?

Solution:
Circumference (C) of the circle can be written as:

$C=2 \pi r \\ \\ 18 \pi =2 \pi r \\ \\ r=9$

Using this value of radius, we can find the Area(A) of the circle.

$A= \pi r^{2} \\ \\ 
A= \pi (9)^{2} \\ \\ 
A=81 \pi$

Therefore, area of the circle having a circumference of 18π inches will be 81π inches²
