Answer:
The angle of elevation of the sun from the ground to the top of a tree is .
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
The sun from the ground to the top of a tree when a tree that is 10 yards tall casts a shadow 14 yards long.
Now by using the trignometric identity .
As figure is given below .
AB = Perpendicular = 10 yards
BC = Base = 14 yards
Putting all the values in the trignometric identity .
Therefore the angle of elevation of the sun from the ground to the top of a tree is .
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
----> by angle addition postulate
substitute the given values
Answer:
x = 14
m∠SOP = (7x - 2)° = 96°
m∠SOR = (5x + 14) = 84°
Step-by-step explanation:
`From the given picture,
Angle SOP and angle SOR are the linear pairs.
Therefore, sum of these angles will be equal to to 180°.
m∠SOP + m∠SOR = 180° -----(1)
Since, m∠SOP = (7x - 2)° and m∠SOR = (5x + 14)°
[There is a misprint in this question. There should be x in place of y in the measures of the angles]
By substituting these values in the equation (1),
(7x - 2) + (5x + 14) = 180
12x + 12 = 180
12x = 180 - 12
12x = 168
x =
x = 14
m∠SOP = (7x - 2)° = 96°
m∠SOR = (5x + 14) = 84°
