Answer:

71.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

A building 62 feet tall casts a shadow 21 meters long . At what angle is the sun shining on the building?

We solve this question using the Trigonometric function of Tangent

tan x = Opposite/Adjacent

Where

Opposite = 62ft

Adjacent = 21 ft

x = Angle

Hence,

tan x = 62/21

x = arc tan (62/21)

x = 71.288262125°

Approximately = 71.3°

Straight line A has the equation y = 3x + 2. Find the equation of the line parallel to A and goes
arlik [135]

Answer:

y = 3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x + 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, 8 ) into the partial equation

8 = 9 + c ⇒ c = 8 - 9 = - 1

y = 3x - 1 ← equation of parallel line

A 4 meter long ladder leans against a 90 degree wall at a 68 degree angle.
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We use trig to answer these questions:

sin x = opposite side of a triangle / hypotenuse

cos x = adjacent side / hypotenuse

Construct a right triangle with hypotenuse 4 m and lower angle 68 degrees.

The height of the top of the ladder  is then defined by:

sin 68 degrees = height / 4 m, which yields (4 m)(sin 68) = height =

3.71 m

and the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the wall as follows:

cos 68 degrees = horizontal distance / hypotenuse =

1.50 m
