If you are trying to figure out the distance between the top of the tree and the end of the shadow, use a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs of the right triangle.
5^2 + 4^2 = c^2
25 + 16 = c^2
41 = c^2
c = √41 = 6.4 meters
I've already been complemented twice on my previous answer, but then I discovered that I mis-read the question. My entire original answer was wrong, and I have to delete it.
I don't believe that any number can satisfy both of those conditions.
I'll say the question has no answer.
Answer:
Θ = 157.7°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
cosΘ = - 0.925
Since cosΘ < 0 then Θ is in the second or third quadrant.
Since 0° ≤ Θ ≤ 180° then Θ is in the second quadrant. thus
Θ =
(- 0.925) = 157.7° ← angle in second quadrant
You divide 8644 by 8 which equals 1080.5, but since you can't have half of one person you approximate it to 1080 or 1081.
25.59- 9.99= 15.60
15.60/ 0.05 = 312
