I think you have to find a common multiple for the denominators 5 and 8 which would be 40. so it would be 6/40 and 2/40. then I think, you would add or multiple, depending on the situation, 6 and 2
A.= 9/8 OR 1 1/8
B.= 11/12
C.= 17/12 OR 1 5/8
Answer:
The side closest to P is the side that is on the same side of the angle bisector as P.
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle bisector is the line containing all the points equidistant from the sides of the angle. Points on one side of the angle bisector are closer to the angle side that is on that side of the angle bisector.
___
The attached diagram shows the angle bisector as a dashed line. A couple of different locations for P are shown (P1 and P2). Apparently, we're concerned here with the distance from P along the perpendicular to each side of the angle. For P2 (on the left side of the angle bisector), it may be clear that the left perpendicular is shorter than the right one. Likewise, for P1, the right perpendicular will be shorter.
Answer:
<em>The angle of elevation of the sun is 32°</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Right Triangles</u>
The flagpole and the ground form a right angle (90°). In triangles with right angles, the trigonometric ratios are satisfied.
Each acute angle has an adjacent leg and an opposite leg. The tangent ratio relates to both legs.

The opposite leg to angle x is 20 ft and the adjacent leg is 32 ft, thus:

Calculate x by using the inverse tangent:


The angle of elevation of the sun is 32°
